Step by step solution:
We know that there are 969 doughnuts, and there are 8 doughnuts per box. What we need to find out is how many boxes of doughnuts were made.
Step 1:
Set up an equation for Number of doughnuts (969) / Number of doughnuts per box (8) = Number of boxes made (x), which would look like this:
<em>969/8 = x</em>
Step 2:
Doing this, we can get 121.125, which leaves us with
<em>121.125 = x</em>
<em>121.125 = 121.125</em>
Which gives us the answer of 121.125, which we can shorten to 121, as the decimal is not necessary.
Checking our answer:
We can check our answer simply be rewording our 1st equation to solve for the number of doughnuts made. This would give us the equation Number of doughnuts per box (8) * Number of boxes made (121.125) = x. Solving this equation would look like
<em>8 * 121.125 = x</em>
<em>969 = x</em>
<em>969 = 969</em>
Answer: By completing the steps above we get 121, and we can check our work by rewording the problem to solve for the number of Doughnuts. Good Luck!
