Answer:3031 boxes will be filled with staples

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the machine makes 500000 in a day

So total staples = 500000

Staples in a box = 165

In order to find how many boxes the machine will make, the total number of staples has to be divided by the number of staples in a box.

So,

[tex]number\ of\ boxes = \frac{Total\ staples}{Staples\ in\ a\ box}\\= \frac{500000}{165}\\= 3030.30[/tex]

As no staples can be left out of box, we will round off the number to next number.

So,

3031 boxes will be filled with staples

3031 boxes
