Solution
-
First, we need to find out how many buttons Luke had initially. He had 28 bags, each containing 200 buttons. So, 28 bags * 200 buttons/bag = 5600 buttons.
-
Luke sold 600 buttons. So, the remaining buttons are 5600 buttons - 600 buttons = 5000 buttons.
-
Luke then packed these remaining buttons into bags of 40 buttons each. So, 5000 buttons / 40 buttons/bag = 125 bags.
So, Luke packed 125 bags of buttons.
