Answer to Question #93849 in Psychology for Earl Notarte

Question

How many more boxes would be needed to package 1200 magazines in boxes of 10 than in boxes of 12? Explain how you derived your answer.

Answer 1

To package 1200 magazines in boxes of 10 we need 1200/10 = 120 boxes.

To package 1200 magazines in boxes of 12 we need 1200/12 = 100 boxes.

So, we need 120 - 100 = 20 more boxes to package 1200 magazines in boxes of 10 than in boxes of 12.
