Question

A party store has 54 packs of plates in stock. The packs are either sets of 8 or sets of 12. If the store has 496 total plates in stock, how many plates would the customer buy if he or she buys all of the 12 that the store has in stock?

A) 16
B) 38
C) 192
D) 304

Answer 1

I think it’s will be D

Answer 2

a 16

Explanation:

16 x 12 = 192 plates

496 total plates - 192 = 304

304 packages of 8 plates

304 / 8 = 38 sets of 8 plates

38 + 16 = 54 packs of plates
