b. No she will not have enough bracelets for all 32 classmates if she orders 5 more packages of bracelets

Step-by-step explanation:

write out the equation

p=the number of packages she needs to buy

32=5+4p

subtract five from both sides

32-5=5-5+4p

27=4p

dived both side by 4

27/4=4p/4

6.75=p round to 7

Check your answer:

4 x 7 = 28

add the number of bracelets she already has

28 + 5 = 33 bracelets

33>32

So 7 packages is the minimum number of packages she needs to buy
