Question

Rewrite the equation to solve for the number of boxes of party favors Raymond should purchase. Raymond is buying boxes of party favors for his son's birthday party. He has to decide how many boxes he should purchase. Enter the correct answer. OOG DONE Clear all +1? A formula for this scenario is nz C = f C = number of children at the party n = number of party favors per box z = number of boxes f = number of favors each child will get

Answer 1

Starting with the equation:

$c=\frac{nz}{f}$

Since the number of boxes is z, solve for z. To do so, multiply both sides of the equation by f:

$\begin{gathered} cf=\frac{nz}{f}\cdot f \\ \Rightarrow cf=nz \end{gathered}$

Next, divide both sides of the equation by n:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{cf}{n}=\frac{nz}{n} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{cf}{n}=z \end{gathered}$

Therefore:

$z=\frac{cf}{n}$
