Question

Mrs. Dugan plans to serve

100 barbecue sandwiches at the
company picnic. How many packages
of barbecue buns will she need if buns
come in packages of 83 Packages of 12?

Answer 1

For packages of 8: She will need 13 packages

For packages of 12: She will need 9 packages

Explanation:

Number of barbecues sandwiches = 100 (given)

For packages of 8 we have, (100/8) = 12 (without the remainder)

We then add one extra package so that the 100 barbecue sandwiches are served.

So, for packages of 8, packages of barbecue buns = 12 + 1 = 13

For packages of 12 we have, (100/12) = 8 (without the remainder)

We then add one extra package so that the 100 barbecue sandwiches are served.

So, for packages of 12, packages of barbecue buns = 8 + 1 = 9
