Sagot :

Hwong can fit 12 packets of coffee in small boxes
=> He has 10 small boxes
=> 10 x 12
=120 packets of coffee in all

He wanted to reorganize this packets of coffee in to large boxes
=> He can fit 50 packets of coffee in large boxes
=> 120 packet of coffees / 50 packet of coffee per large box
=> 120 / 50
=> 2 large boxes will be filled but there will be 20 remaining packet of coffee
Hwong can put the 12 packet of coffee to 1 small box and 8 packets to the other small box
