Question

Mrs.Cyan paid 105$ for flower boxes. Each flower box cost 7.00$. How many flower boxes did she buy?​

Answer 1

Number of flower boxes bought by Mrs. Cyan is 15

Solution:

Given that Mrs. Cyan paid 105$ for flower boxes

Each flower box cost 7.00$

To find: Number of flower boxes bought by Mrs. Cyan

Number of flower boxes bought by Mrs. Cyan can be found by dividing the total amount paid by price of 1 flower box

From given information,

Total amount paid = $ 105

Cost of 1 flower box = $ 7.00

Number of flower boxes bought by Mrs. Cyan:

$\text{ Number of flower boxes bought } = \frac{ \text{ total amount paid }}{ \text{ cost of 1 flower box }}$

Substituting the given values we get,

$\text{ Number of flower boxes bought } = \frac{105}{7.00} = 15$

Thus 15 flower boxes are bought by Mrs Cyan
