Uniforms are sold in packages of 8. The store's 137 employees will each be given 4 uniforms. How many uniforms will the store need to order all together?

552 uniforms (69 packages)

Step-by-step explanation:

since each employee will be given 4 uniforms and each package contains 8 uniforms, you need 1 package of uniforms for every 2 employees.

Total number of employees = 137

total number of uniform packages = 137 / 2 = 68.5 packages which must be rounded up since you need to have enough uniforms for everyone = 69 packages

69 packages x 8 uniforms per package = 552 uniforms

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!

true
