993 cold drinks bottles are to be placed in crates. Each crate can hold 9 bottles. How many crates would be needed and how many bottles will remain?

Let c equal the number of crates
9 bottles per crate * c = 993
9c = 993

Solve for c in the equation 9c = 993

Step 1: Divide each side of the equation by 9
9c /9 = 993/9
c = 110.33333333333

Since we can't have fractional crates, we round up 1 to the next full crate
c = 111
