Answer:

14 ; 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of unpopped popcorn = 1600 kernels

Kernel per popped corn = 120

Number of boxes needed :

Number of unpopped / kernel per popped corn

1600 / 120

= 13.3333

Hence, number of boxes needed = 14

Number of popped kernel. In partially filled box :

1600 - (120 * 13)

1600 - 1560

= 40
