Two people are packing an equal number of small boxes into larger boxes.

- One person has 3 large boxes that are full of small boxes and 24 small boxes not yet packed.
- The other person has 5 large boxes packed with small boxes and 10 small boxes not packed.

Each large box holds the same number of small boxes. How many small boxes can a large box hold?

34 small boxes for each large box.... I just added 24 and 10

Each large box can hold 7 small boxes. This was determined by setting up an equation based on the total number of boxes each person had and solving for the unknown value. The equation showed that both individuals initially had the same total number of small boxes when considering the large boxes and the unboxed small boxes they had.
