Question

Kendra is buying bottled water for a class trip. She has 16 bottles left over from the last trip. She buys bottles by the case to get a good price. Each case holds 24 bottles. How many cases will she have to buy if she wants to have a total of 160 bottles of water?

Answer 1

6 cases

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bottle required = 160

Bottles already have = 16

Thus now required = 160 - 16 = 144

Each case has 24 bottles.

so,

$\frac{144}{24} = 6$

Hope it helps:)
