Question
Over the last decade, a nursery sold 97 200 flower bulbs packaged in identical boxes. How many bulbs could have been in each box?
Solution
To answer this question, we need more information. Specifically, we need to know how many boxes were used to package the 97,200 flower bulbs. If we have that information, we can divide the total number of bulbs by the number of boxes to find out how many bulbs were in each box.
For example, if there were 100 boxes, we would divide 97,200 by 100 to get 972 bulbs per box.
However, without knowing the number of boxes, we cannot answer this question.
