Question

Lily needs to order some new supplies for the restaurant where she works. The restaurant needs at least 420 spoons. There are currently 159 spoons. If each set on sale contains 6 spoons, write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine s, the number of sets of spoons Lily could buy for the restaurant to have enough spoons.

Answer 1

44 set of spoons- 420-159=261. 261/6=43.5 round it to 44

Answer 2

They need 420 spoons, right?
But they already have 159.
So they are missing 261.
The spoons on sale, are 6 spoons per set.
So you are gonna divide 261 by 6.
Which gives her 43.50 sets of spoons
But you have to round that up to 44 sets of spoons.

(sorry if that was confusing or it didn’t make sense i’m not that good at math but i try lol.)
