An after-school daycare program must have 1 counselor for every 15 children. The program must also have 1 director. There are 8 employees with the daycare program. At most, how many children are there?

I think the answer is 105

Please correct in comments if I am wrong.

All you have to do is times 7 by 15 because it never said there had to be any children for the director.

There has to be 1 counselor every 15 children. You have to do 8 minus one times 15 and you would get 105.

LIKE I SAID PLEASE CORRECT IF IM WRONG!
