If 11 boxes of chocolates contain 220 suckers in total, calculate how many would be in 5 boxes

Answer 1

To find out how many suckers are in 5 boxes, we can first determine how many suckers are in one box.

Given that 11 boxes contain 220 suckers, we can calculate the number of suckers per box by dividing the total number of suckers by the number of boxes:

\[ \text{suckers per box} = \frac{220 \text{ suckers}}{11 \text{ boxes}} = 20 \text{ suckers per box} \]

Now that we know there are 20 suckers in one box, we can find out how many suckers are in 5 boxes:

\[ \text{suckers in 5 boxes} = 20 \text{ suckers per box} \times 5 \text{ boxes} = 100 \text{ suckers} \]

Therefore, there would be 100 suckers in 5 boxes.
