Question

An individual purchased 200 program licenses; 20 licenses will go to the satellite office out of state, and the remaining licenses will be distributed evenly over the company departments. Do you have the information you need to solve for how many licenses each department will get?

Answer 1

The student requires assistance with dividing 200 program licenses, with 20 reserved for a satellite office. To accurately divide the remaining 180 licenses, the number of company departments is needed, which is not provided in the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking how to distribute 200 program licenses, with 20 going to a satellite office and the rest to be divided evenly among departments. To solve this, we must first exclude the 20 licenses for the satellite office, which leaves us with 180 licenses to distribute. However, we do not have the information about the number of departments that will share the 180 licenses. Without this key piece of information, we cannot determine how many licenses each department will receive.

To calculate that, one would typically divide the total number of licenses to be distributed by the number of departments. For example, if there are 9 departments, each would receive 180 / 9 = 20 licenses. Therefore, to answer the question, we need to know the number of departments the company has.
