Question 1

A shipping department receives 3 pallets containing 48 boxes each. If 27 boxes are damaged and must be returned, how many usable boxes remain?

Accepted Answer

117

Answer

3 × 48 = 144 total boxes; 144 − 27 = 117 usable boxes.

Question 2

An office supply order totals $348.75. If the department budget is $500 and $112.40 has already been spent this month, does enough budget remain to cover the order?

Accepted Answer
