Answer 1

Answer:

• 3 large boxes
• 9 small boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

The purchase can be grouped into groups containing one large box and 3 small boxes. Then each group will have 12 +3·6 = 30 granola bars.

Since 90 bars were purchased, the camp bought 90/30 = 3 groups of boxes of bars.

They purchased 3 large boxes and 9 small boxes of bars.
