Juanita is making necklaces to give as presents. She plans to put 15 beads on each necklace. Beads are sold in packages of 20. What is the least number of packages she can buy to make necklaces and have no beads left over

It should be 4 packages, with some mental math.

4 * 20 = 80

4 * 15 = 60

Remember we still have 20 beads left over now. Add it to 60 and bam! You're done!

She would have to buy 4 packages because the LCD is 60
