Flynn had 518 shortbreads in his bakery. He gave 378 shortbreads to the children. Then he arranged the remaining shortbreads equally into boxes of 4.
- How many boxes were there?
- If each box was sold at $8, how much money did he collect?
(a)
Number of remaining shortbreads

= 35
(b)

= 35 x 8
= $280
Answer(s): (a) 35; (b) $280
