Answer:

a) 265 case

b) 4 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bottles remaining = total number of bottles - total number of bottles placed in cases

The number of bottles remaining = 8500 - 2136

The number of bottles remaining = 6364 bottles

From the table, we can see that water is filled at 24 bottles per case. Let x be the number of cases, hence:

24 bottles  per case * x case = 6364 bottles

24x = 6364

x = 6364

x = 265.16

Therefore the number of cases filled = 265.

265 cases can contain 6360 bottles

b) number of bottles remaining = 6364 bottles - (24 * 265 case) = 4 bottles
