Answer:

89 employees

3 uniforms left

Explanation:

Number of Uniforms per employee = 5

Uniform per pack = 8

Number of packs = 56

Total number of uniforms :

56 * 8 = 448 uniforms

Number of employees who can get uniform :

1 employee = 5 uniforms

Number of employees = 448 / 5 = 89.6

Hence, 89 employees

Yes, (448 - (89*5)

= 448 - 445

= 3 uniforms left
