Question

There are 149 people in Jared’s class. Jared buys erasers for each of them. Erasers are sold 4 to a pack. How many packages of erasers does Jared need to buy?

Answer 1

approximately 37 packs should do

Answer 2

38 packages of erasers

Explanation:

Divide 149 by 4 to determine the amount of packs

this is gives you 37.25, but you can't have a 0.25 of a package

therefore you would need 38 to compensate that 0.25 of a package
