.
400 = 7n + 210 (this is what they're looking for)

solving for n:
190 = 7n
190/7 items = n

I think there is an error on This question cause :p Cause I think they currently has 190 and the answer would be 210/3=30 items :D

okay I see what you are saying but it wants us to write it in a number form and I thought it would be 210 + 7n < 400 just dont know if this is right any thoughs
