If seven scouts need to sell 75 boxes of cookies... and each scout gets the same no. of cookies.... then boxes distributes will be a number which is a multiply of 7...
The nearest multiply of 7 here is #70#
Note that we can't take more boxes, i.e. 77 as you can take less but never more...
So #70# boxes will be given out...
There are #75# boxes in whole
#75-70=5#
#5# boxes will be left
