Answer:
Montel received 15 boxes of books.
Explanation:
This question can be solved by a rule of three.
We have that:
On Monday he placed an order for 96 books. On Wednesday he ordered 264 more. This means that he ordered 264+96 = 360 books.
There were 24 books in each box. Considering that there was 360 books, how many boxes there was?
1 box - 24 books
x boxes - 360 books
[tex]24x = 360[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{360}{24}[/tex]
[tex]x = 15[/tex]
Montel received 15 boxes of books.
