Question

vince ships boxes of lasagna in insulated containers. vince has 400 boxes of lasagna to ship. each insulated container can hold 15 boxes of lasagna. each insulated container costs $9.35 to ship regardless of the number of boxes of lasagna in it. he wants to use the least number of insulated containers as possible. how much will it cost vince to ship the boxes of lasagna?

Answer 1

The least amount of insulated containers he can use is 27. The cost of that would be $252.45. Because 400 divided by 15 is 26.6 repeating so rounded up it’s 27 and that times 9.35 is 252.45.
