Cups :- 12×6=72

1. We need to order 9 Packets of plates and 6 Packets of cups for 75 guests .

Answer 2

Answer:

The least no. of packets of plate and cups needed is 9 and 6 respectively .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

• Total number of guests = 75
• no. of plates in each packet = 8
• no. of cups in each plate = 12

To find :- Least  no. of packets of plate and cups

Solution :-

Step 1) Since we know total no. if guests = 75

            and in one packet of plate there are 8 plates

and in one packet of cups there are 12 cups available .

Step 2)

We know , 8 x 9 = 72 --(1)

       and ,  12 x 6 = 72 --- (2)

Thus , the least no. of packets of plate and cups needed is 9 and 6 respectively .
