Solution

The correct option is D 60
Total number of cupcakes = 204
Number of boxes = 17

Number of cupcakes in 1 box = 204 ÷ 17
Using long division, we have:

Since the quotient = 12, each box will have 12 cupcakes.

$∴$ Number of cupcakes in 5 boxes is:
= 12 $\times$ 5
= 60

Hence, the number of cupcakes 5 boxes will have is 60.
