Answer 1

Nathan must order 21 sets of forks for the restaurant.

Explanation:

Since Nathan needs to order some new supplies for the restaurant where he works, and the restaurant needs at least 571 forks since there are currently 361 forks, if each set on sale contains 10 forks, to determine the number of sets to buy you must perform the following calculation:

(571 - 361) / 10 = X

210/10 = X

21 = X

So Nathan must order 21 sets of forks for the restaurant.
