Given:
uniforms in a package of 8.
127 people with 3 uniforms each.
127 x 3 = 381 uniforms
381 ÷ 8 = 47.625 ⇒ 48 packages
The store will need to order 48 packages of uniforms to fulfill the uniform requirement of 127 people. There will also be 3 uniforms left in excess of the 48 packages.
48 * 8 = 384
384 - 381 = 3 excess uniform
