Answer:
you are loosing 1/8 of all shipments so you are left with 7/8 of your shipment; therefore, 560 pieces would be 7/8 of your order so your shipment must be as follows:
order = undamaged goods divided by 7/8
order = 560 X 8/7 = 4480/7 = 640
if you order 640 pieces, you will loose 1/8 or 80 pieces
leaving you with 560 pieces
