Buns are sold in a packs of 8 and hot dogs are sold in packs of 12. What is the least number of hot dogs you can make if you don’t want any leftovers? How many packs of each should you buy? If you are holding a party and you expect between 80 and 100 people, how many should you buy?
The worst case (or best, depending on your viewpoint) is that you have to feed 100 people.
You can buy 12 pks of buns and 8 pks of dogs, and feed 96 people, if there are 4 no-shows.
But, to ensure you can feed all 100 people, you have to get 15 pks buns and 10 pks dogs to
make 120 sandwiches. Then 80 people get one sandwich and 20 people get two sandwiches.
