A cartoon of staples has 50 packages. The carton contains 25,000 staples in all. Each package has an equal number of staples. How many staples are in each package? Explain how to use a basic fact to find the answer.
Each box contains 500 staples because I know there are 50 packages and 25,000 staples in all so you divide 25,000 by 50 and you get 500 staples in each box
