First, we need to calculate the volume of the two gifts in the shopping box.
Volume of puzzle cube = 4 in x 4 in x 4 in = 64 cubic inches
Volume of card game box = 6 in x 4 in x 4.5 in = 108 cubic inches
Total volume of gifts = 64 + 108 = 172 cubic inches
Now, we need to calculate the volume of the shopping box.
Volume of shopping box = 12 in x 5 in x 5 in = 300 cubic inches
Now, we subtract the volume of the gifts from the volume of the shopping box to find the volume of the Styrofoam peanuts.
Volume of Styrofoam peanuts = 300 - 172 = 128 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the Styrofoam peanuts in the shopping box is 128 cubic inches.
