Question

The store plans to purchase the uniforms and hand out 5 uniforms to every employee, one for each day of the week uniforms come in packs of 8, and the store plans to purchase 56 packs of uniforms. How many employees can store give uniforms to? Will the store have any uniforms left over?

Answer 1

89 employees

3 uniforms left

Explanation:

Number of Uniforms per employee = 5

Uniform per pack = 8

Number of packs = 56

Total number of uniforms :

56 * 8 = 448 uniforms

Number of employees who can get uniform :

1 employee = 5 uniforms

Number of employees = 448 / 5 = 89.6

Hence, 89 employees

Yes, (448 - (89*5)

= 448 - 445

= 3 uniforms left
