Question

Penny has 96 marigolds. If she keeps 8 marigolds in each box, then the number of boxes required are .

• A. 12
• B. 16
• C. 14

Answer 1

The correct option is A 12

Total marigolds $=96$
Each box has $8$ marigolds.


$8\times 10=80$

$96-80=16$

Also, $16÷8=2$.

Now, $10+2$ boxes $=12$.
Thus, there are 12 boxes in all.
