Solution · 2 marks
- 114 boxes hold 14 × 68 = 952 pens
- 2952 < 980, so 28 pens are left over
- 3No, he does not have enough boxes
AnswerNo, with correct working, e.g. 980 ÷ 68 = 14.4… so he would need 15 boxes; or 14 × 68 = 952 so he can only pack 952 (he has 28 remaining); or 980 ÷ 14 = 70 so each box would need to hold 70 pens
