@cathrinerose23 How many people are at the party?

Yes, but since Mrs Kerr is buying the donuts for her employees we assume 180 will get donuts. So since every employee gets 2 donuts, how do we find the total number of donuts to buy?

Answer 8

Let's forget about the 12 for the moment. "There is 180 employees and they get 2 donuts each". How many donuts in total is that?

Answer 9

360

Answer 10

Very good. Now to figure out how many dozen of donuts to buy, divide 360 by 12.

30 right

Correct, Mrs. Kerr will need to buy 30 boxes of donuts in order for her employees to get 2 donuts each.
