Tommy had 556 wafers in his bakery. He gave 352 wafers to the children. Then he arranged the remaining wafers equally into boxes of 6.
- How many boxes were there?
- If each box was sold at $6, how much money did he collect?
(a)
Number of remaining wafers
= 556 - 352
= 204
Number of boxes with 6 wafers
= 204 ÷ 6
= 34
(b)
Amount that the Tommy collected
= 34 x 6
= $204
Answer(s): (a) 34; (b) $204
