Answer:

Each girl should sell at least 77 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the number of boxes and how many girls will them, just take $\dfrac{100}{13} \approx 77$

The exact result is $\dfrac{100}{13} = 76.923...$ , but $76 \cdot 13 = 988$ and $77 \cdot 13 = 1001$ , therefore, 76 cannot be the result. So, each girl should sell at least 77 boxes.
