Question

You need spoons, cones, and bowls for your store. The spoons come in packs of 100, cones come in packs of 60, and cups come

in packs of 80.
1. How many spoons, cones, and cups will you have if you order 8 packs of each?
2. How many customers will you be able to serve? Will every person need a cup, spoon, and a cone?
3. If you estimate that you will have 1500 customers next week, how would you change your order to make sure everyone can be served?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Number 1

Number of spoons= no of boxes × individual no of spoons

= 100 × 8 = 800 spoons.

Number of cones = no of cones in a box × no of boxes

= 60 × 8 = 480

Number of cup = no of cups in a box × no of boxes

= 80 × 8 = 640.

Total = 800 + 480 + 640 = 1920

Number 2

If everyone needs a cup, spoon and cones, it means they all need 3 items.

no of people you can serve = 1920 ÷ 3

= 640 people.
