Agrocery sells fruit boxes which include four oranges, three apples and one banana. one day they sell 48 oranges in their fruit boxes. how many apples did they sell?

To do this you would have to divide 48 by four to get the boxes sold, then mutiply it by three to get 36, 36 is the answer. Hope I helped.

If each box contains 4 oranges we must divide to find out how many boxes were sold.

48 oranges/ 4 oranges per box = 12 boxes.

Now that we know there are 12 boxes we see that there are 3 apples in each box and multiply.

12 boxes * 3 apples per box = 36 apples.

Hope this helps.
