Question

There are 8,701 DVDs in a movie store. Each rack holds 78 DVDs. How many DVDs will be in the partially filled rack?

Answer 1

To find out how many DVDs will be in the partially filled rack, we need to divide the total number of DVDs by the number of DVDs that can fit in a full rack. Then, we need to take the remainder of that division to determine the number of DVDs that will be in the partially filled rack.

Answer 2

First we need to know the number of racks

Answer 3

Total number of racks = 8,701 / 78 = 111.80 (rounded down to 111 racks) DVDs in partially filled rack = 8,701 % 78 = 31

Answer 4

Using this formula we can calculate the partially filled rack: DVDs in partially filled rack = Total number of DVDs modulo DVDs per rack DVDs in partially filled rack = 8,701 % 78

Now to get the values: Total number of racks = 8,701 / 78 = 111.80 (rounded down to 111 racks) DVDs in partially filled rack = 8,701 % 78 = 31

in this case there are 31 DVDs in the partially filled rack
