Question

There are 24 showcases in a shop and 15 shelves in each showcase. The shopkeeper has arranged 31,680 dvds so that each shelf has an equal number of them. How many dvds has he put on each shelf

Answer 1

Answer:

88 DVDs on each shelf.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of showcases = 24

Number of shelves in each showcase = 15

Total number of shelves = Shelves in each showcase x Number of showcases

Total number of shelves = 15 x 24 = 360 shelves

Number of DVDs = 31680

Equal number of DVDs are to be placed in each shelf.

Number of DVDs per shelf = Total number of DVDs / Total number of shelves

                                          = 31680 / 360

                                          = 88
