Question Rani is planning to host a party. She estimates that 250 guests will attend. She plans to serve one samosa to each guest. Samosas are available in packs of 6 or 8. Which pack should Rani buy? Explain your
Solution:
Rani should choose the packs in such a way that the total number of samosas is not less than 250 but as close as possible to 250.
So, 42 packs of samosas will have 252 samosas, and 32 packs of 8 samosas will have 256 samosas.
Here, 252 is closer to 250.
Therefore, Rani should buy samosas in pack of 6.
