Answer:

667

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x is inversely proportional to p then we can relate it as follows

x=k/p where k is constant of proportionality.

Making k the subject of formula, k=px

Given that when p is 5 and x is 800 then

K=5*800=4000

Now when p is $6 thwn x will be

X=k/p=4000/6=666.6666666666667

Rounded off, x=667 boxes
