Well
if it is marked 1/3 off, then you're actually paying 2/3 of it.
2/3 of 123. " of " means multiply
2/3 * 123 = 246/3 = 82 So it now costs $ 82
Let the difference between consecutive terms be D. If the middle term is 30, then the term before it is 30-D, and the term after it is 30+D. So the sum of these three terms would be (30-D) + 30 + (30+D) = 3*30.
Extending this sum to include all 11 terms centered around 30, we see that any addition of D is canceled by a balanced subtraction, leaving you with 11 copies of 30. So the value of the sum is 11*30 = 330.
100 * ( 4 / 100 ) * ( 26 / 12 ) = 4 * ( 26 / 12 ) = 26 / 3 = $ 8.66 ;
It has to be 3 boxes for all of them to fit
