A jeweller makes 3-strand pearl necklace. Each strand has 75 pearls. How many packets of 100 pearls will be needed for 12500 such necklaces

Answer 1

number of necklaces =12500
total number of strands = numbe rof necklaces x numbe rof strand sper necklaces
= 12500 x 3 =37500
total number of perals = total number of strands x number of pearls in each strand
=37500 x 75 =2812500
number of packets needed = total number of pearls / number of pearls in each strand
= 2812500 / 100 =28125
