A sporting goods store gave a free t-shirt to every 8th customer and a free water bottle to every 10th customer for a promotional event. Will the 160th customer receive both a water bottle and a t-shirt?

yes, the 160th customer will receive both because 160 can be divided into both 8 and 10.

Answer:

Yes , the 160th customer receive both a water bottle and a t-shirt .

Explanation:

Given :

A sporting goods store gave a free t-shirt to every 8th customer for a promotional event .

Also, a sporting goods store gave a free water bottle to every 10th customer for a promotional event .

We need to find if the 160th customer receive both a water bottle and a t-shirt.

Here, we can see 160 is clearly divisible by 8 :
160/ 8=20

Also, 160 is divisible by 10 :
160/ 10=16

So, we can see that a sporting goods store gave a free water bottle to every 160th customer for a promotional event .

Also, a sporting goods store gave a free water bottle to every 160th customer for a promotional event .
