Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
A dentist bought 9 bags of prizes for his patients.
Each of the bags has 12 prizes
The first step is to calculate the total number of prizes
= 9 × 12
= 108 prizes
Since the prizes will be shared equally in 3 boxes then the number of prizes in each box can be calculated as follows
= 108/3
= 36
Hence the number of prizes in each of the 3 boxes is 36
