Question

If there are 200 pencil in a box how many pencil will 160 boxes contain

Answer 1

Hey there !

Solution:

This is a sum of ration and proportion.

Since the sum is a direct proportion we will use ratio method to solve.

1 box = 200 pencils :: 160 boxes = x pencils

Product of means = Product of extremes

=> 1 × x = 200 × 160

=> x = 32000

Hence there would be 32,000 pencils in 160 boxes.

Hope my answer helped !
