Answer 1

Given : Each newspaper boy delivers 67 papers

To find : least number of boys needed to deliver 60,000 papers

Solution:

Each newspaper boy delivers  67 paper

Total papers to be delivered = 60,000 papers

let say least number of boys needed to deliver 60000 papers = n

n boys can deliver 67 * n = 67n papers

67n ≥ 60000

=> n  ≥ 60000/67

=> n  ≥ 895.5

=> n = 896  ( least number of boys required)

896 is the least number of boys required to deliver 60,000 papers
