Noorie buys 16 boxes of pens. Each box contains m pens. How many pens are in a box if 182 pens are left

Answer 1

Let the number of pens in a box be x.

Since Noorie buys 16 boxes of pens, the total number of pens she buys is 16x.

If 182 pens are left, then the total number of pens she bought minus the pens left is equal to 182.

16x - 182 = 182

16x = 364

x = 364 / 16

x = 22

Therefore, there are 22 pens in a box.
