Question

Markers are sold in boxes, packs, or as single markets. Each box has 10 packs. Each pack has 10 markers. Draw a picture to show two ways to buy 276 markers

Answer 1

Answer:

Two possible ways are:

2 boxes, 7 packs and 6 single markers

2 boxes 6 packs and 16 single markers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

We have 276 markers. Each box has 10 packs, and each pack has 10 markers

We need to put 276 markers in boxes packs or single.

One possible way is:

Each box has 10 packs, and each pack has 10 markers; it means each box holds 10(10) = 100 markers.

Two boxes contains 2(100) = 200 markers.

Now the markers left are:

276-200 = 76 markers.

Each pack has 10 markers, therefore 7 packs would be 7(10) = 70 markers. This would leave

76-70 = 6 markers.

So, the one possible way is 2 boxes 7 packs and 6 single markers.

Way 2:

If we choose to use 2 boxes and 6 packs, this would be

2(100) + 6(10) = 200 + 60 = 260 markers,

This would leave

276-260 = 16 markers.

The another possible way is 2 boxes 6 packs and 16 single markers.

The required figure is shown below:

Answer 2

You could buy 276 single markers, you can buy 28 packs of markers, or 3 boxes of marker because 1pack = 10 markers, 10 markers multiplied by 10 packs equals 100. So 1 box would have 100 markers in it and if you took 2 boxes you would be missing 76 markers, so you're better off getting 3 boxes and having 300 markers than being less by 76.
