Walter Accounting wants to buy 4,866 chocolate truffles for a party. If there are 6 truffles in each box, how many boxes of truffles should the company buy?

Answer 1

To determine how many boxes of chocolate truffles Walter Accounting should buy, you can divide the total number of truffles by the number of truffles per box.

Given:

• Total truffles = 4,866
• Truffles per box = 6

Now, perform the division:

\[ \text{Number of boxes} = \frac{4866}{6} = 811 \]

Since 4,866 is exactly divisible by 6, Walter Accounting should buy 811 boxes of truffles to have exactly 4,866 truffles.
