Japheth had 545 tarts in his bakery. He gave 377 tarts to the children. Then he arranged the remaining tarts equally into boxes of 4.
- How many boxes were there?
- If each box was sold at $12, how much money did he collect?

= 42
(b)
Amount that the Japheth collected
= 42 x 12
= $504
Answer(s): (a) 42; (b) $504
