Tommy had 541 croissants in his bakery. He gave 396 croissants to the children. Then he arranged the remaining croissants equally into boxes of 5.
- How many boxes were there?
- If each box was sold at $11, how much money did he collect?

= 29
(b)
Amount that the Tommy collected
= 29 x 11
= $319
Answer(s): (a) 29; (b) $319
