For this case we can make the following rule of three:
 1 box -------------> 15 paperweights
 x -------------------> 1269 paperweights
 We clear the value of x.
 We have then:
 x = (1269/15) * (1)
 x = 84.6
 Rounding to the nearest whole:
 x = 85
 Answer:
 
There will be needed about:
 
x = 85 boxes
