Question

Olivia filled 6 baskets of strawberries. Later she combined the fruit evenly into 3 larger boxes. If all 3 boxes sold for $42, how much money did each box of strawberries cost?

Answer 1

To determine how much each box of strawberries cost, we can start by dividing the total sale price by the number of boxes.

The total price for the 3 boxes is $42. To find the price of each box:

\[
\text{Price per box} = \frac{\text{Total price}}{\text{Number of boxes}} = \frac{42}{3} = 14
\]

Therefore, each box of strawberries cost **$14**.
