Given : If 48 boxes contain 6000 pens.

To find : How much such boxes will be needed for 1875 pens?

Solution :

We have given,

6000 pens are contained in 48 boxes .

Applying unitary method,

1 pens are contained in $\frac{48}{6000}$ boxes .

Number of boxes will be needed for 1875 pens is

1875 pens are contained in $\frac{48}{6000}\times 1875$ boxes .
