Hello, 928747!

So we are trying to find how many boxed lunches Janie ordered.

Each box is $4.00 and the total cost is $47.00 + delivery fee of $7.00

So to find this, we will first subtract the delivery fee because that does not count towards the lunches.

47 - 7 = 40

So the boxed lunches cost $40.00

To find how many Janie ordered, we will divide 4 by 40

40 ÷ 4 = 10

So Janie bought 10 boxed lunches.

The equation would be (47 - 7) ÷ 4
