Bob baked 1761 cupcakes. If he packed them into boxes of 36 and the remaining into another box, how many boxes did he use?

1 answer

The total number of boxes of 36 cupcakes is 1761/36 = <<1761/36=48.9167>>48.9167
Since Bob can not use a fraction of a box, he used 48 boxes.
He packed the remaining cupcakes into 1 box.
In total, Bob used 48 + 1 = <<48+1=49>>49 boxes. Answer: \boxed{49}.
