Mr. Santino needs a total of 406 forks for his restaurant. He currently has 278 forks. If each set has 12 forks, what is the minimum number of sets of forks he should buy?

He would need to buy 11 sets as 406-278 is 128 then you divide that by 12 and get 10.6666 which rounds up to 11 because you can’t buy .66 of a set. So he would have to buy 11 sets of forks, hope this helps
