Pencil Boxes A1Efe0
1. **State the problem:** We need to find how many boxes of pencils the school must order to have at least 2550 pencils.
2. **Identify given information:**
- Each box contains 10 packs.
- Each pack contains 24 pencils.
- The school needs 2550 pencils.
3. **Calculate pencils per box:**
$$\text{Pencils per box} = 10 \times 24 = 240$$
4. **Find number of boxes needed:**
We divide the total pencils needed by pencils per box:
$$\frac{2550}{240} = 10.625$$
5. **Interpret the result:**
Since we cannot order a fraction of a box, we round up to the next whole number:
$$\lceil 10.625 \rceil = 11$$
6. **Final answer:**
The school needs to order **11 boxes** of pencils to have at least 2550 pencils.
