A hamburger bun merchant can ship 8 large boxes or 10 small boxes of hamburger buns into a carton for shipping. In one shipment, he sent a total of 304 boxes of hamburger buns. If there are more large boxes than small boxes, how many cartons did he ship?

Respuesta :

Answer:

34 total        16 small 18 large

Step-by-step explanation:

1 small box*10 = 10        304-10=294 (NOT DIVISIBLE INTO 8)

2small boxes*2 = 20     304-20 = 284  (not divisible into 8)

16 small boxes*10 = 160        304-160 =144 (YES DIVISIBLE INTO 8)

                                                    144/8 =18  (18 large boxes)

16*10 = 160

18*8=144
