3. Atile warehouse has Inventory at hand and can put in for a

der from a supplier of bundles of tiles.

Currently they have 38 tiles of a certain kind in stock, and can

as Inventory at hand and can put in for a back order from a su

bundle. The equation that represents this order is as follows;

The number of tiles = 12b+38, where b is the number of bundles ordered

(a) If a customer needs 150 tiles, how many bundles will need to be ordered?

answer. Why do we need to round our answer up in this problem?

undles will need to be ordered? Explain how you got your

If a customer needs 150 tiles, the total number of bundles ordered can be gotten by simply substituting The number of tiles into the modeled equation and find the value of b. This is as shown below;

On substituting;

150 = 12b + 38

12b = 150 - 38

12b = 112

b = 112/12

b = 9.33

b ≈ 9 bundles

We need to round up the problem because the number of tiles can not be in fraction but as whole numbers.

The inequality compare between two parameters with a certain extent. The number of bundles to be ordered are 10.

Given that:

Number of tiles the customer needs is 150.

Number of tiles supplier already has is 38.

Tiles per bundle is 12.

And we don't want to supply less tiles to the customer, that is why we will order equal or more tile bundles that will satisfy the customer's needs.

Let b be the number of bundles.

Or symbolically, using inequality, we can say that:

[tex]12\times b \: + 38 \geq 150\\\\b \geq \dfrac{112}{12}\\\\b \geq 9.333...\\[/tex]

Since bundles ordered will be counted in positive integers, thus we have:

b = 10

Thus, the number of bundles to be ordered are 10.
