Question

The drama club is selling 1/8 pound of chocolate for Valentine's Day. They have 75 orders and only 3 pounds of chocolate. How much more pounds of chocolate will they need to complete the orders?

Answer 1

I'm not sure if you're looking for an approximation or the exact amount, so I'll give you both. The drama club would need exactly 9.375 lbs of chocolate for the 75 orders, or 6.375 more lbs. If we round that up to the nearest pound, the club would need 10 lbs of chocolate to cover the 75 orders, with some left over. So, they would need 7 lbs more.
