If 8= 538 Ib. then take the (538) and divide that by 8. <---- 8 for the 8 uniforms.

Your math should look like this: 538/8= about 67 pounds.

Then do 67*8= 536. (You started at 532 Ib.) this is just 2 pounds off*

So, your answer should be *67* pounds.

*Use paper and a pencil! Sometimes doing mental math can be challenging with a problem like this. So use paper and a pencil, checking your answer wont hurt either!*
