Question

Let's say you accepted a part-time job working in a bakery. The baker sells a bag of rolls containing 13 rolls (or a

baker's dozen). The baker made 158 rolls before leaving for the evening. He asks you to make sure each roll is
packaged before going home. What is the greatest number of bags you will need, and should you try to sell any
extra rolls so as not to have leftovers?

Answer 1

12 bags

Explanation:

158 rolls ÷ 13 rolls/bag = 12.15 bags

You will have 12 full bags plus about 2 extra rolls left over, which you can try to sell separately or as a "pack" of 2. Or, you can sell one overstuffed bag with 2 extra rolls in it (for a total of 15 rolls) for a little extra on the price.

Answer 2

52 bags and 2 extra

Explanation:

Simply divide the no. of rolls by no. of rolls per bag
