Q:

The homegrown Turkey farm is preparing their Thanksgiving shipment. In one container they can put 8 big turkey boxes or 10 small turkey boxes. They send 96 turkey boxes using more big boxes than small boxes. How many containers did they use?

Accepted Solution

A:
They used 11 containers. 7 containers contained 56 big turkey boxes while 4 containers contained 40 small turkey boxes. 56 is the largest number which is divisible by 8 when deducting 96 by 10. This method ensured that all the containers are shipped at full capacity.
