    Let us consider the number of edges = x

    we know that a triangle will have 3 edges and a square will have 4 edges. Using this details we can form an equation.

    3x + 4x = 8484

    7x = 8484

    x = 8484/7

    = 1212

    Then

    Number of square tiles = 1212/4

    = 303

    So there are 303 square tiles in the box. I hope the procedure is clear enough for your understanding. You can always use this method for solving similar problems.
