Japheth had 547 scones in his bakery. He gave 379 scones to the children. Then he arranged the remaining scones equally into boxes of 4.
- How many boxes were there?
- If each box was sold at $6, how much money did he collect?

= 42
(b)
Amount that the Japheth collected
= 42 x 6
= $252
Answer(s): (a) 42; (b) $252
