Question

Mr. Darson bought 6 boxes of nails from a shop. Each box had an equal number of nails. He gave 8 nails to each of his 38 students. He then had 26 nails left. Find the number of nails in each box.

Answer 1

Answer:55 nail boxes

Step-by-step explanation: first we have to find out the total amount of nails in all the boxes so for this we do 38*8=304

when he gave all the nails to all his students he has 26 extra nails left. so we add this amount to the original which gives us 330 total nails.

to find out the number of nails in eadh box we divide 330/6=55
