Jill made 122 muffins. She put them into 3 boxes and has two muffins left. How many are in each box

Jill made 122 muffins. She put them into 3 boxes and has two muffins left. How many are in each box if they all contain the same amount of muffins?

Let m equal the number of muffins per box.

We're told that we have 3 boxes and 2 muffins left after filling up all 3 boxes.
3m + 2 = 122

To solve for m, we subtract 2 from each side:
3m + 2 - 2 = 122 - 2

Cancel the 2's on the left side and we get:
3m = 120

Divide each side by 3 to isolate m:
3m/3 = 120/3

Cancel the 3's on the left side and we get:
m = 40
