is making decorative boxes for an upcoming school event. He has 152

 boxes left to make after making 354

 boxes.

Determine b

, the number of boxes needed for the school event.

A.b

 = 164

B.b

 = 354

C.b

 = 506

D.b

 = 154

To determine \( b \), the total number of boxes needed for the school event, we can set up an equation based on the information given.

Let:
- \( b \) = total number of boxes needed for the event.
- 354 boxes have already been made.
- 152 boxes are left to make.

So, we can write:
\[
b = 354 + 152
\]

Calculating this gives:
\[
b = 506
\]

**Answer:**  
The correct answer is **C. \( b = 506 \)**.
