Part A Possible Solution:
Possible Strategy 1:
a. 3 × 16 = 48 − 46 = 2
b. 5 × 10 = 50 − 46 = 4
Possible Strategy 2:
a) 3—6—9—12—15—18—21—24—27—30—33—36—39—42—45—48 = 2 remaining
b) 5—10—15—20—25—30—35—40—45—50 = 4 remaining
Part B Possible Solution:
Two uniforms can be made from the leftover clothing.
Although there are 4 green T-shirts left, only 2 pairs of shorts are available. Since you need
at least one pair of shorts to complete the uniform, therefore 2 extra uniforms can be made.
