Question

Dee has collected no fewer than 388 coats for charities. She gave 64 of the coats to her church and donated the remaining coats equally to local shelters. If Dee gives a minimum of 36 coats to each shelter, how many shelters receive coats?

Answer 1

Answer:

9 shelters

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 64 from the total number of coats to get the total amount of coats donated to shelters:

388 - 64 = 324

Then, divide 324 by 36, since that's the minimum number of coats given to each shelter:

324 ÷ 36 = 9

So at least 9 shelters received coats.
