Candied yams fly off the shelf during the holiday season. The store buys them in bulk boxes of 25 packages. If every third shopper buys a package of candied yams, how many bulk boxes of candied yams will the store need to order for their 375 predicted holiday shoppers? Give me reasons, before answering the question
Every third shopper buys a package of candied yams, so the store will need 375 / 3 = 125 packages. At 25 packages per bulk box, the store will need 125 / 25 = 5 bulk boxes of candied yams. So the final answer is 5.
