Question
evan had 480 candies she put an equal amount in several boxes in one box she put 24 more candies that box had 104 candites in total how many boxeds did mrs whitney fill
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:
-
First, we need to find out how many candies were in the other boxes. We know that one box had 24 more candies than the others, and it had 104 candies in total. So, the other boxes had 104 - 24 = 80 candies each.
-
Next, we need to find out how many boxes were filled. We know that Evan had 480 candies in total. If we subtract the 104 candies that were in the box with more candies, we get 480 - 104 = 376 candies. These 376 candies were distributed equally among the other boxes.
-
To find out how many boxes were filled, we divide the total number of candies by the number of candies per box. So, 376 / 80 = 4.7. Since we can't have a fraction of a box, we round this up to 5 boxes.
-
Finally, we add the box with more candies to get the total number of boxes. So, 5 + 1 = 6 boxes.
Therefore, Evan filled 6 boxes with candies.
