A baker has 88 muffins. he fills large boxes the hold 9 muffins he puts the leftovers in small box how many muffins are in the small box?

7 muffins. 9x9=81 so that means there's 7 left over to go in the small box

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
