Question

a store sold a total of 15,000 boxes of buttons last month and 12,000 boxes this month. if the store sold 270,000 buttons, how many buttons were in each box?

Answer 1

15000+12000=27000
270000/27000=10
10 buttons per box

Answer 2

Answer: There are 10 buttons in each box.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of boxes a store sold in last month = 15,000

Number of boxes a store sold in this month = 12,000

Total number of boxes would be

$15,000+12,000=27,000$

Number of buttons a store sold = 270,000

So, Number of buttons were in each box would be

$\dfrac{270,000}{27000}\\\\=10$

Hence, there are 10 buttons in each box.
