A factory produced 65, 160 sweets. The sweets were packed in packets each holding sweets.
The cost of each packet was $72. All the packets were then equally put in 15 cartons. What was the cost of the sweets in each carton?

Is the first number 65160 ?
How many in each packet ?
To solve this problem, we need to find the total cost of all the sweets and then divide it by the number of cartons.
First, we need to find the total number of sweets produced. The factory produced 65,160 sweets.
Next, we need to determine the number of packets by dividing the total number of sweets by the number of sweets in each packet. However, we don't have this information yet.
To find the number of sweets in each packet, we need to divide the total number of sweets by the total number of packets. The cost of each packet is $72, so the total cost of all the packets is $72 multiplied by the total number of packets.
To find the number of packets, we can set up an equation:
(Number of packets) * (Number of sweets in each packet) = Total number of sweets
Let's solve for the number of packets:
Number of packets = Total number of sweets / Number of sweets in each packet
Number of packets = 65,160 / Number of sweets in each packet
Now, let's calculate the total cost of all the packets:
Total cost = Cost per packet * Number of packets
Total cost = $72 * (65,160 / Number of sweets in each packet)
Since we don't know the number of sweets in each packet, we can't calculate the total cost directly. However, we can still proceed to find the number of sweets in each carton without knowing the exact value of the total cost.
To find the number of sweets in each carton, we need to divide the total number of sweets by the number of cartons:
Number of sweets in each carton = Total number of sweets / Number of cartons
Number of sweets in each carton = 65,160 / 15
Finally, once we find the number of sweets in each carton, we can calculate the cost of the sweets in each carton by dividing the total cost of all the packets by the number of cartons:
Cost of sweets in each carton = Total cost / Number of cartons
Cost of sweets in each carton = (Total cost) / 15
Unfortunately, without knowing the number of sweets in each packet, we cannot determine the exact cost of the sweets in each carton.
