8 0

Let x be this number 10% of the number x is (10%)(x) → 0.1x
Then 10% of a number x, added to that number is (1.1x):

x + 0.1x = x(1+0.1) = x(1.1) = 1.1x

Mrs Kennedy is buying pencils for 315 students.

The pencils are sold in boxes of 10.

Therefore the number of pencils she needs to buy should be a multiple of 10, so that she can buy boxes of 10 pencils each.

number of students are 315 but 315 is not a multiple of 10

so we have to round off 315 to the nearest ten, that's 320.

so then she has to buy 320 pencils

number of boxes she needs - 320 / 10 = 32 boxes of pencils

she only needs pencils for 315 students so she will have 5 extra pencils

she will have to buy 32 boxes
