Answer:
Hi there! The answer is 6.
The box including the drumsticks has a weight of 782 grams.
The box itself has a weight of 206 grams.
Therefore the drumsticks in the box have a weight of 782 - 206 = 576 grams.
Each drumstick has a weight of 96 grams.
The total amount of drumsticks have a weight of 576 grams.
Therefore there are 576 / 96 = 6 drumsticks in the box.
