Question

128 boxes are packed with 36 toffees in each box. if 4 less toffees are packed in a box,then the new number of boxes which can be filled with the same number of toffees is.... ​

Answer 1

128 boxes packed with 36 toffees in each box.

Total number of boxes = 128

Toffees in each box = 36

If 4 fewer toffees are packed in a box. Then,

Total number of toffees left in each box = Toffees in each box - Number of toffees that are reduced in each box

$\implies$ 36 - 4

$\implies$ 32

Now, left toffees in each box are 32.

Also, we have given that the total number of boxes is 128.

So,

Number of toffees in each box = 128 × 36

$\implies$ 4608 toffees

We have to find the number of boxes.

Let the -

• number of boxes be x.

x × Total number of toffees left in each box = Total number of toffees

Substitute the known values above. So, we can find the number of boxes.

$\implies$ x × 32 = 4608

$\implies$ x = 4608/32

$\implies$ x = 144

•°• Number of boxes are 144

Answer 2

$\bold{\huge{\underline{\underline{\sf{AnsWer:}}}}}$

New number of boxes = 144

$\bold{\large{\underline{\underline{\sf{StEp\:by\:stEp\:explanation:}}}}}$

GiVeN :

• 128 boxes are packed with 36 toffees in each box.
• 4 less toffees are packed in a box

To FiNd :

• New number of boxes which can be filled with the same number of toffees.

SoLuTiOn :

We have,

• Total Number of box = 128
• Toffees in each box = 36

•°• Total Number of toffees,

$\longrightarrow$ $\bold{\sf{Total\:Number\:of\:box\:\times\:Toffees \:in\:each\:box}}$

Block in the values,

$\longrightarrow$ $\bold{\sf{128\:\times\:36}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\bold{4608}$

•°• Total Number of toffees = 4608.

$\bold{\underline{\underline{\sf{As\:per\:the\:question:}}}}$

• 4 less toffees are packed in a box

•°• Toffees in each box,

• 36 - 4 = 32 toffees.

Let the new number of box required to fill the same number of toffees be x.

$\longrightarrow$ $\bold{x={\dfrac{4608}{32}}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\bold{x=144}$

•°• New number of boxes required to fill in same number of toffees = 144.
