Question of the Week

Granola Bar Boxes

Maria needs snacks for all the students going on a field trip. She bought 9 boxes of granola bars containing a total of 88 bars. She wanted variety, so she purchased 3 different flavors, which happened to come from 3 different companies. The almond chunky granola bars were packaged 8 to a box, the chewy chocolate chip bars came 10 to a box, and the super special raisin nut package contained 12 per box. She bought the most boxes of almond chunky but had the most raisin nut bars.

How many boxes of each flavor did she buy?

Maria bought way to many granola bars. One was way to many. Reason being is that we all know that what's left will always go home with us and end up in our mouths.

Since I am the bargain shopper I bought 4 boxes of the Almond Chunky (cause I love the word CHUNKY), and 2 boxes of the Chewy Chocolate Chip, and 3 boxes of the Super Special Raisin Nut Bars. And yes mom you can eat the leftovers.
