Answer: There are 46 counter tops it can make from its last shipment.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of tiles for each counter = 32 tiles

Total number of tiles from its last shipment = 1486 tiles

We need to find the number of counter tops it can make.

so, Number of counter tops is given by


\frac{\text{Total number of tiles used in last shipment}}{\text{Number of tiles used in each counter}}\\\\=(1486)/(32)\\\\=46.43\\\\\approx 46

Hence, There are 46 counter tops it can make from its last shipment.
