    993 cold drinks bottles are to be placed in crates. Each crate can hold 9 bottles. How many crates would be needed and how many bottles will remain?

    Let c equal the number of crates
    9 bottles per crate * c = 993
    9c = 993

    Solve for c in the equation 9c = 993

    Step 1: Divide each side of the equation by 9
    9c /9 = 993/9
    c = 110.33333333333

    Since we can't have fractional crates, we round up 1 to the next full crate
    c = 111
