Question

Frank's T-shirt Company is packing boxes of tshirts. BLES ordered 2,864 shirts from Frank. If frank packed 35 shirts in each box, how many boxes can be completely filled?

Answer 1

You know that:

1. The total number of shirts BLES ordered is 2,864.

2. Frank packed 35 shirts in each box.

So, let "x" the number of boxes that can be completely filled.

To find the value of "x", you need to divide 2,864 by 35, as you can see below:

$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{2,864}{35} \\ x=81.82 \end{gathered}$

You get a decimal number, so since we are calculating the number of boxes that can be totally filled, we need to choose only the whole part of the decimal number (In this case it's 81).

Therefore:

$x\approx81$

So you can conclude that 81 boxes can be completely filled.
