Question

When 3886 boxes of paint are distributed among "A" number of artists, each artist gets 58 boxes. Find the value of "A".

• A. A = 57
• B. A = 67
• C. A = 52
• D. B = 62

Answer 1

The correct option is B A = 67

Total number of artists $=A$
Total number of paint boxes $=3886$

∴ Number of paint boxes each artist gets will be given by $3886÷A=58$ or, $A=3886÷58$

We have to find the value of $A$ here.

So, the total number of artists will be
$=\frac{Totalnumberofpaintboxes}{Numberofpaintboxeseachartistgets}$

$=\frac{3886}{58}$

Calculating $3886÷58$ by standard algorithm, we get:


So, $3886÷58$ gives the final quotient as $67$

Hence, the total number of artists will be $67$

Therefore, value of A is 67
