( HELP PLS XD WILL MARK BRAINLIEST) Nhia is setting up a marble tournament for the kids in her apartment complex. So far, 47 kids have signed up to play. Each
player needs 10 marbles. Nhia found a discount store that sells
bags of 24 marbles. Round each amount to the nearest ten to find
a reasonable estimate for the number of bags of marbles Nhia will
have to buy to be sure to have enough marbles.
A) 18
B) 25
C) 32
D) 39

Given that we have 47 kids and each kid needs 10 marbles, find out how many bags of 24 marbles will we need.

First, we will multiply 47 by 10 to get the amount of marbles needed.

47 x 10 = 470

So, that means we need 470 marbles in total.

Then, we divide 470 by 24 to see how many bags of 24 marbles 470 marbles is.

470 / 24 = 19.5833

Since, we can't have 19.5833 bags, we have to check what it would be if we only used 19.

19 x 24 = 456

470 - 456 = 14

Since, 18 is the closest number of bags but it has less than 470 it would not be correct.

Therefore, the best answer would be B. 25 since it is better to have extra marbles but not a very wide margin.
