Question 1066388
{{{p}}}= number of pins that fit per box, so that
{{{30p}}}= total number of pins
With {{{p-3}}} pins per box,
you fill {{{32}}} boxes, so
{{{32(p-3)}}} is also the total number of pins.
Then, our equation is
{{{32(p-3)=30p}}} .
Solving:
{{{32(p-3)=30p}}}
{{{32p-96=30p}}}
{{{32p-30p=96}}}
{{{2p=96}}}
{{{p=96/2}}}
{{{p=48}}}
So, the total number of pins is
{{{30p=30*48=highlight(14)}}} .
