Question

uniforms are sold in packages of eight the stores 127 employees will be given three uniforms how many packages will the store need to order

Answer 1

48 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of employees = 127

Number of uniform per employee = 3

Total uniform for the 127 employees = 3(127) = 381 uniforms

Each package has 8 uniforms

Let the number of packages in 381 uniforms = y

number of uniforms per pakage × (number of packages) = 381

8y = 381

divide both isdes by 8:

8y/8 = 381/8

y = 47.625

Since it is not a whole number and packages are not in decimals, we approximate to 48

The number of packages the store needs toorder is 48 packages
