Question

A marketing firm mails 3,575 flyers for a client. The flyers are bundled in groups of 55. How many bundles does the company send out? How many flyers remain? And what would happen to the number of bundles if the company needed to increase the number of flyers by 100?

Answer 1

The company sends out 65 bundles of flyers with none remaining. If increased by 100 flyers, they would send out 67 bundles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many bundles the marketing firm sends out and how many flyers remain, we need to perform division and find the remainder.

First, we divide the number of flyers by the number of flyers per bundle:

• 3,575 flyers ÷ 55 flyers/bundle = 65 bundles with 0 remaining, or a remainder of 0.

So, the company sends out 65 bundles, with no flyers remaining.

If the company increases the number of flyers by 100, we have:

• (3,575 flyers + 100 flyers) ÷ 55 flyers/bundle = 67 bundles,

with a remainder of flyers. Hence, they would send out 67 bundles and have some flyers as remainder.
