Glen had 594 biscuits in his bakery. He gave 390 biscuits to the children. Then he arranged the remaining biscuits equally into boxes of 2.
- How many boxes were there?
- If each box was sold at $8, how much money did he collect?

= 102
(b)
Amount that the Glen collected
= 102 x 8
= $816
Answer(s): (a) 102; (b) $816
