The standard or most common number of pencils in one box is 20 pieces, hence we can assume that each box contain 20 pieces of pencil, therefore in order to determine the number of boxes that Erika needs to buy, we will divide 127 by 120.
= 127/20
= 6.35
Since we have a remainder, it t means there is an shortage of value, hence we must make the value into a whole number so that we'll have a concise answer.
= 7
Final answer:
Erika needs to buy 7 boxes.
