A company orders 29 boxed lunches from a deli for $230.55. If each boxed lunch costs the same amount, how much do 23 boxed lunches cost?

To solve this, we first need to find the cost of each boxed lunch by dividing the total cost by the number of boxed lunches:

\[
\text{Cost per lunch} = \frac{230.55}{29}
\]

Now we can calculate that:

\[
\text{Cost per lunch} = 7.95
\]

So, each boxed lunch costs $7.95. To find the cost of 23 boxed lunches, multiply the cost per lunch by 23:

\[
\text{Cost of 23 lunches} = 7.95 \times 23 = 182.85
\]

Thus, the cost of 23 boxed lunches is **$182.85**.
