Question

mark is the housekeeping manager for a hotel. he wants to have 250 bottles of shampoo in storage for hotel guests. he sees 2 full boxes of 96 bottles each. he counts 26 bottles in an open box. how many bottles of shampoo should mark order? a) 32 bottles of shampoo b) 122 bottles of shampoo c) 128 bottles of shampoo d) 218 bottles of shampoo

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total in full boxes

Each full box has 96 bottles, and there are 2 full boxes. So total from full boxes is \(2\times96 = 192\) bottles.

Step2: Add bottles from open box

There are 26 bottles in the open box. So total available is \(192 + 26 = 218\) bottles.

Step3: Calculate bottles to order

Mark wants 250 bottles. So bottles to order is \(250 - 218 = 32\)? Wait, no, wait. Wait, let's recalculate. Wait, 2 full boxes: 296=192. Open box:26. Total on hand:192+26=218. Desired:250. So 250 - 218 = 32? But the options have 32 as A. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, no, let's check again. Wait, 2 boxes of 96: 962=192. Open box 26. Total:192+26=218. 250-218=32. So the correct answer should be A) 32 bottles of shampoo. Wait, but the original marked option was C, but maybe that's a mistake. Let's do the math again. 2*96=192. 192+26=218. 250-218=32. So the answer is A.

Answer:

A) 32 bottles of shampoo
