If there are 67 bottles in the refrigerator. The number of bottles in a full box is: 12 bottles.

Equation

Equation:

9+ 3b + 2(b-1) = 67

Let b represent the number of bottles

Solving for b

9 + 3b + 2b - 2 = 67

Collect like terms

5b + 7 = 67

5b= 67 - 7

5b=60

Divide both side by 5b

b= 60/5

b= 12 bottles

Therefore If there are 67 bottles in the refrigerator. The number of bottles in a full box is: 12 bottles.
