Question
There were 27 boxes of tea in the tea house. Each box weighed 18 kg. After selling 12 boxes, the shopkeeper packed the remaining tea into bags of 9 kg each. How many bags of tea can be packed?
Answer:
30 boxes of tea
Step-by-step explanation:
27 (overall tea boxes) – 12 (boxes sold) = 15
15 (leftover boxes) x 18 (kg of each box) = 270
270 (overall kg of the boxes) divided by 9 (kg of the bags) = 30, so all the tea boxes can be placed into the bags
