Answer :
The teacher will need 10 packages of markers. If 8 markers to a package, 10 packages= 80 markers. If 25 students shall have 3 markers each, that comes to equal 75. So the teacher needs 10 packages and will have five left over.
The teacher wants to give 3 markers to each student
There are 25 students
Markers come in packs of 8
----------------------------------------------------
Multiply 3 markers by 25 students (3 markers per student)
3×25=75 markers
There is 8 markers per package so divide that amount my the amount of markers needed
75÷8=9.37 packages
But you need it in whole packages (you can't buy a fraction of a package)
So since 9.37 is over 9 packages, it rounds up one package higher which is 10
