Answer:

73 nails

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of 1 inch = 255

Boxes of 2 - inch = 5

Each box of 2 _inch has equal amount of nails

Total number of nails = 620

Number of nails in each box of 2_inch nails:

Let Number of nails in each box = b

Number of 1_inch + 5 * number of 2_inch = 620

255 + 5b = 620

5b = 620 - 255

5b = 365

5b / 5 = 365 / 5

b = 73

Hence, there are 73 nails in each box of 2_inch nails
