Answer:
Option B is the correct choice.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that the net weight of a bottle of olives is 338 grams and we are asked to find smallest number of bottles that must be purchased to have at least 5 kilograms of olives.
Let us convert 5 kilograms into grams.
[tex]\text{5 kilograms}=5*1000\text{ grams}=5000\text{ grams}[/tex]
Now we can find least number of bottles that must be purchased from dividing 5000 by 338.
[tex]\text{Number of bottles that must be purchased}=\frac{5000}{338}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of bottles that must be purchased}=14.7928[/tex]
Now we will round our answer to nearest whole number. Therefore, to have at least 5 kg of olives 15 bottles must be purchased.
