Answer : (13)

Let x be the number of party favors in each (27 boxes)

Let y be the number of favors in last box

Given : total of party favors = 1552

27 boxes + last box = 1552

27x + y = 1552

We divide 1552 by 27, the quotient will be our x and the remainder will be y(number of party favors in last box)

Use long division

= 57 and remainder is 13

the number of party favors in each of (27 boxes) = 57

the number of party favors in last box = 13

So, there are 13 party favors in last box.
