Question

Kendra is buying bottled water for a class trip. She has 16 bottles left over from the last trip. She buys bottles from the case to get a good price. Each case holds 24 bottles. How many cases will she have to buy if she wants to have a total of 160 bottles of water

Answer 1

6 cases

Explanation:

Kendra wants a total of 160 water bottles

She already has 16 water bottles. So you can subtract 16 from 160 or

160-16 = 144

Then since there are 24 water bottles in a case, you need to divide 144 by 24 or 144÷24 = 6
