Glen had 525 croissants in his bakery. He gave 367 croissants to the children. Then he arranged the remaining croissants equally into boxes of 2.
- How many boxes were there?
- If each box was sold at $6, how much money did he collect?

= 79
(b)
Amount that the Glen collected
= 79 x 6
= $474
Answer(s): (a) 79; (b) $474
