Jori has 7 boxes of books,with each box holding the same number of books.he has126 books in all how many books are there per box

bazaltina [42]

Let b be the number of books in a box. Then we can say that the total number of books is equal to the number of boxes times the number of books per box.

7b=126 divide both sides by 7

b=18

So there are 18 books per box.
