Answer 2

For this case, the first thing we must do is define the following variables:

x: number of packages of screws

y: number of groups

The relationship between the variables is given by:

$n = \frac{x}{y}$

Substituting values we have:

$n = \frac{2345}{5}$

Finally, dividing both values we have:

$n = 469$

Answer:

There are 469 packages of screws in each shipping box

B. 469
