Answer 1

Answer:

a) How many full packages will be used to ship the jeans?

41 packages

b) How many jeans are left over?

24 Jeans

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that a manufacturer: made 1500 Jeans and is shipping them in packages of 36.

Hence, the number of packages of 36 he can send out to stores is calculated as:

1500÷ 36

= 41.666666667

In whole number packages = 41 packages

Hence, 41 full packages would be used to ship the jeans.

The number of Jeans left behind is

1500 - (41 × 36)

= 1500 - 1476

= 24 Jeans
