Answer:

Four (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a company had forty-one employees (41 employees)

And ordered nine hundred eighty uniforms (980 uniforms) for them.

Hence, to give each employee the same number of uniforms, the number of more uniforms they should order so they don't have any extra will be FOUR (4)

This is because 980 ÷ 41= 23 remainders 37

Hence, we need additional 4 uniforms to complete, which then equates to 984 ÷ 41 = 24 remainder 0.
