1. **Problem 27:** Kevin, Arya, and Mark share a total of 430.
Given:
- Kevin's share = $\frac{1}{4}$ of Arya's share
- Mark's share = 85
- Total = 430
2. **Step 1: Define variables**
Let Arya's share be $A$.
Then Kevin's share is $\frac{1}{4}A$.
Mark's share is 85.
3. **Step 2: Write the equation for total amount**
$$A + \frac{1}{4}A + 85 = 430$$
4. **Step 3: Simplify the equation**
Combine like terms:
$$A + \frac{1}{4}A = \frac{4}{4}A + \frac{1}{4}A = \frac{5}{4}A$$
So,
$$\frac{5}{4}A + 85 = 430$$
5. **Step 4: Solve for $A$**
Subtract 85 from both sides:
$$\frac{5}{4}A = 430 - 85 = 345$$
Multiply both sides by $\frac{4}{5}$:
$$A = 345 \times \frac{4}{5} = 345 \times 0.8 = 276$$
6. **Step 5: Find Kevin's share**
$$K = \frac{1}{4}A = \frac{1}{4} \times 276 = 69$$
7. **Answer for Problem 27:**
- Arya's share = 276
- Kevin's share = 69

8. **Problem 28:** A shopkeeper is packing 270 cans in boxes, each box holds 30 cans.
He is packing the 151st can. Find which box he is packing.
9. **Step 1: Understand the problem**
Each box holds 30 cans.
We want to find the box number for the 151st can.
10. **Step 2: Calculate the box number**
Divide the can number by cans per box:
$$\frac{151}{30} = 5.0333...$$
Since the 151st can is in the 6th box (because the first 5 boxes hold 150 cans),
we take the ceiling of the division:
$$\text{Box number} = \lceil 5.0333... \rceil = 6$$
11. **Answer for Problem 28:**
- The 151st can is in box number 6.
