1195 boxes are needed to ship all the tables
Solution:
Given that, furniture store received an order for 8,367 tables
They can fit 7 tables in the lower shipping box
To find: Number of shipping boxes needed to ship all the tables
From given,
Total number of tables = 8367
Number of tables fit in one shipping box = 7
Thus, we can find the number of shipping boxes needed to ship all the tables by dividing total number of tables by number of tables fit in one shipping box
[tex]\text{Number of shipping boxes needed } = \frac{\text{Total number of tables}}{\text{Number of table fit in one box}}[/tex]
Substituting the values we get,
[tex]\text{Number of shipping boxes needed } = \frac{8367}{7}=1195.28 \approx 1195[/tex]
Thus 1195 boxes are needed to ship all the tables
