Question

I need 7,714 solar panels to power my new workshop. If each box contains 24 panels, about how many boxes should I purchase?

Answer 1

7,714 solar panels ÷ 24 panels in each box = about 321.42.

You have to get 1 extra box for the remaining panels since you can't purchase 321.42 boxes, so you should purchase about 322 boxes.

Answer 2

You should purchase 322 boxes. If you take 7.714 decided by 24 solar panels per box, you get 321.416667 and because you can purchase .416667 of a box, you round up to 322
