Answer:

38

Step-by-step explanation:

From the analysis of the previous sales.

25% of Software sold were for Home Productivity.

Therefore, if the manager plans to order 150 software packages, 25% of them should be for home productivity.

Total Number of Software to be ordered=150

Number of home productivity software

=25% of 150 =0.25 X 150=37.5

Since the manager cannot order a decimal number, we round it up to 38.

Therefore, the manager should order 38 home productivity software.
