Answer 1

Answer:

Option A and C 20 CDs in the remaining box.

Step-by-step explanation:

The owner of a music store received a shipment of CDs = 1,532

The same number of CDs were in 36 boxes

Therefore, we divide total number of CDs by 36 boxes =  $\frac{1532}{36}$

                                            = 42.5555 CDs rounded to 42 CDs

So 42 CDs are in each 36 boxes.

Now the remaining CDs = 1532 - (42 × 36)

                                        = 1532 - 1512

                                        = 20 remaining CDs.

There are 20 remaining CDs in 37th box.
