Question

In the Founder's Day Parade in Happy, USA, many organizations participate by building floats. The Float Committee has issued a decree that each float can only have 427,200 flowers on it this year. The Happy Campers have already attached 22,250 flowers to their float. If the flowers come in containers which hold 178 flowers, which equation represents how many more containers they can use on their float?

Answer 1

Answer:

$n = \frac{(427200 - 22250)}{178}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Float Committee has issued a decree that each float can only have 427,200 flowers on it this year.

Now, the Happy Campers have already attached 22,250 flowers to their float.

Hence, there can be more (427200 - 22250) flowers added to the float.

If the flowers come in containers which hold 178 flowers, then the number of such containers to be used more will be $n = \frac{(427200 - 22250)}{178}$  

So, this equation represents how many more containers they can use on their float. (Answer)
