Answer 1

Answer:

There are 16 boxes left in total

Step-by-step explanation:

First we add the amount of boxes at the beginning: 75 + 80 = 155

Then, we add the amount of boxes that were sold: 68 + 71 = 139

Then, we subtract the total amount of boxes sold from the total amount of boxes at the beginning: 155 - 139 = 16
