Question

a baker makes 60 muffins. he sells 24 of the muffins. he put the rest of the muffins in boxes. each box can hold 4 muffins. which equation can be used to find ( b ), the number of boxes the baker will need? a. ( (60 - 24) div 4 = b ) b. ( 60 - 24 div 4 = b ) c. ( (60 + 24) div 4 = b ) d. ( 60 + 24 div 4 = b )

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate remaining muffins

$60 - 24 = 36$

Step2: Divide by box capacity

$\frac{36}{4} = b$, which matches $(60-24)\div4 = b$

Answer:

A. $(60 - 24) \div 4 = b$
