Question

a. 4
b. 24
c. 36
d. 840

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the operation

To find the number of cases, we need to divide the total number of bags by the number of bags per case. So we use the division operation: total bags ÷ bags per case.

Step2: Perform the division

We have 864 bags in total and 24 bags per case. So we calculate $864 \div 24$.
$864 \div 24 = 36$

Answer:

C. 36
