b) divide 196 by the sum of 4 and 8 and find the quotient.

c) divide 196 by 4 and check that the remainder is 8.

d) if x represents the number of pencils per box, solve the equation 8x + 4 = 196.

Option D is the strategy that could help solve this word problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

D) If x represents the number of pencils per box, solve the equation

Total given number of pencils = 196

These are divided equally in 8 boxes, which means = 24.5 rounding to 24 pencils are put in each box. 4 pencils are left.

Let the number of pencils in each box be = x

So, the equation becomes:

We can check this by putting x = 24

Hence, option D is correct. And number of pencils in each box is 24.
