To determine how many gift boxes the company sold, you need to divide the total sales by the cost of each gift box. Here's the step-by-step solution:
1. Identify the total sales amount: The company made a total of [tex]$640 in sales.
2. Identify the cost per gift box: Each gift box costs $[/tex]20.
3. Set up the division problem: To find out how many gift boxes were sold, divide the total sales by the cost per gift box.
[tex]\[
\text{Number of gift boxes sold} = \frac{\text{Total Sales}}{\text{Cost per Gift Box}} = \frac{640}{20}
\][/tex]
4. Perform the division:
[tex]\[
\frac{640}{20} = 32
\][/tex]
Therefore, the company sold 32 gift boxes.
The correct answer is:
A. 32
