Answer 1

Mr. kim will re – order boxes after 6 weeks.  

Solution:

Given, Mr. Kim has 550 take-out boxes at his restaurant.  

He estimates that he will use 80 boxes per week. Mr. Kim wants to re-order more boxes when he has fewer than 100 left.  

We have to find after how many weeks should mr. Kim re-order more take-out boxes?  

Now, we know that, Mr. kim will re – order boxes when number of boxes < 100

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow 550 \text { - number boxes use }$

As number of weeks can’t be considered as fractions in our problem, take nearest integer greater than 5.625

Then, n can be 6.

Hence, mr. kim will re – order boxes after 6 weeks.
