Example:

With Easter just around the corner, I have been counting a lot of candy in bags. Each year, one of my blogs sponsors Easter egg hunts around the county and each year I end up counting how many candy pieces are in the candy bags at Costco. I would assume they are the same from year to year, however, in all the years I’ve been counting candy, prices and amounts change every now and then so I always want to know how much I am donating to Easter egg hunts.

This year has been a whirlwind so unlike how I usually budget it out and look at different prices at different stores, I skipped all of that and went straight to Costco and grabbed a few bags off the shelves and threw them into my cart. When I say I’m going to have the candy there by a certain date and it’s suddenly that date, well, I don’t have many other options.

New this year to my candy collection is Hi-Chew. My kids love them (maybe because they are part Asian? … probably not.) so I figure more kids most love them as well. We bought the Hi-Chew bag on sale for $5.99. Normally the Hi-Chew bag costs $8.49 at the Costco that is local to me. It had 161 Hi-Chew candies in the bag.

Hope this is what you are looking for, just I made it so that you could understand

Answer:

8

Explanation:

With 8 bags, each with 10 candies, he will have fit 80 candies. We cannot include another bag because there are not another 10 candies to include, only 9, and we cannot round up.
