Answer:

she need to order 5 more packages

Explanation:

she has to print 250 invitations

and she has 5 packs of 25 sheets each pack

To know how many papers are we have to multiply the number of packages by the number of sheets that each package has

5 * 25 = 125

To know how many papers they need to buy, we have to subtract 125 from the amount of invitations she has to print

250 - 125 = 125

so she is missing 125 sheets of paper

To know how many packages are we have to divide this number by 25 which are the sheets that each package brings

125 / 25 = 5

she need to order 5 more packages
