    9 Packs

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    Number of pencils required = 250

    Already available pencils=108

    So the store actually needs 250 - 108 = 142 penils

    Pencils per pack=16

    So,

    Number of packs for 142 pencils=142/16

    =8.87 Packs

    As the number of packs cannot be in decimal, it will be rounded off to next integer.

    Total number of pencil pack the store needs to buy=9 ...
