Question

Uniforms are sold in packages of 10. The Store’s 119 employees will each be given 3 uniforms. How many packages will the store need to order

Answer 1

36 packages needed

Explanation:

First, we need to find how many total uniforms are needed. We can find this by multiplying:

119 employees * 3 uniforms each = 357 uniforms needed total

Next, since we know that the uniforms only come in packages of 10, we need to divide:

357 uniforms total / 10 uniforms in a package = 35.7 packages needed

But, since we cannot buy only .7 of a package, we round up to get 36 packages total

Hope this helps :)
