Answer:
a 16
Step-by-step explanation:
16 x 12 = 192 plates
496 total plates - 192 = 304
304 packages of 8 plates
304 / 8 = 38 sets of 8 plates
38 + 16 = 54 packs of plates
14,334 actually that might not be the answer im just thinking that because the 4 is in the tenths place and ur rounding that u would make it into a whole number
