8 boxes containing 85 apples each were emptied into a huge box. Seven people were given 5 apples each from it. The remaining apples were packed in 3 boxes.
a)how many apples were in each box?
your wording is kinda weird. were the 8 boxes all containing 85 apples or were there 85 apples in all 8 of the boxes?

it says 85 apples each. So there were 680 apples,
7*5 = 35 apples were given away
(680-35)/3 = ___
thanks kole for not answering my question at all and copy and pasting your question but just listen to oobleck he or she is correct
Bro, kokichi kin, it clearly said "8 boxes containing 85 apples"
So that possibly means that 85 apples in each box
and thats what i asked but he didnt answer my question :\
Oop nvm then
yea if u scroll up i asked him if it was 85 per box or overall and he didnt say the answer he just copy and pasted the question
To find out how many apples were in each box, we need to calculate the total number of apples and then divide it by the number of boxes.
1. Start by determining the total number of apples in the original 8 boxes:
Total apples in 8 boxes = 8 boxes × 85 apples/box = 680 apples
2. Next, calculate the number of apples given to the 7 people:
Apples given to people = 7 people × 5 apples/person = 35 apples
3. Subtract the apples given to people from the total number of apples:
Remaining apples = Total apples - Apples given to people
= 680 apples - 35 apples
= 645 apples
4. Finally, divide the remaining apples by the number of boxes they were packed into (3 boxes) to get the number of apples in each box:
Apples in each box = Remaining apples ÷ Number of boxes
= 645 apples ÷ 3 boxes
= 215 apples
Therefore, each box contains 215 apples.
