Montel can't keep up with the demand for the latest best-selling book. He had to order more copies twice this week. On Monday he placed an order for 96 books. On Wednesday he ordered 264 more. All the books arrived on Friday. There were 24 books in each box. How many boxes of books did Montel receive?

Respuesta :

96+264 = 360
360 \ 24 = 15

Therefore he received 15 boxes
He got 15 boxes.
he ordered a total of 360 books 
(264+96=360)
Since there are 24 books in each box you have to divide 360 by 24
(360/24=15)
If there are 24 books in each box then there should be 15 boxes for him to be able to have 360 books
