Answer 1

Answer:

60 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First find 20% of 60 (multiply 60 by .2) to get 12.

2. So 12 teachers will donate 5 boxes each (12 x 5=60)

Answer 2

Answer: The answer would be 60 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation: If there are 60 teachers and only 20% of the teachers donate, then you could say that there is only 0.2 of the teachers who donated boxes. This gives you 0.2 times 60 which equals 12. If each teacher donates 5 boxes each and there are 12 teachers who donated, then there would be a total of 60 boxes donated.

Hope this helps.
