Total candys to be placed are 50

Each box stores 8 Candy bars

she had 3 already at home which are capable of storing 8 candies each would be 8 * 3 = 24

So she already stored 24 candys in the 3 boxes which she had in home now left out candies are

50 - 24 = 26

1 box can store 8 Candies

? boxes we need to store 26 Candies

= 26 / 8 = 3 (Approx)

Total would be 3 in home and 3 she buys from shop which would be 6
