The number of boxes Simon have left to deliver is 5 boxes

The average of packages per box

Given:

  • Total packages Simon sold = 72
  • Number of packages in each box = 9
  • Number of packages delivered = 27

Number of packages left = Total packages - Number of packages delivered

= 72 - 27

= 45 packages

So,

Number of boxes left = Number of packages left ÷ Number of packages in each box

= 45/9

= 5 boxes

Therefore, the number of boxes Simon have left to deliver is 5 boxes
