We have,

Mass of a box is 115 kg

Applied force is 424 N

It is required to find the frictional force of the floor on the box against you. Frictional force is an opposing force. It opposes the motion of an object. Here the applied force is 424 N. So, the frictional force has a magnitude of 424 N but it acts in opposite direction.
