Male restaurant/bar worker, black hair, black shirt: For the restaurant and the bar, all our napkins come in a pack of 100.
Here I've got six packs, which is six hundred.
It's easier to use in multiples because, I know the restaurant uses three packs a day which is easier for us, instead of counting 300 napkins a day.
Female shopkeeper, black hair, black top: So it's £5 please.
Female shop customer, grey hair and glasses: £5?
Female shopkeeper, black hair, black top: Yes please.
Female shop customer, grey hair and glasses: Cheers darling, ta.
Female shopkeeper, black hair, black top: These glasses comes in a pack of four, so if I needed 40 glasses, that means I need to order ten packs.
Multiple packs make it much easier to re-order the stock.
Male chef, blonde hair, white apron: Today we are making the pavlova, we are going to do 40 pavlova's on each tray.
So we are doing five rows of eight.
A multiple is a number multiplied. So 20, 30 and 40 are multiples of 10. A factor is any number that is evenly divided into another. For example, 2 and 5 are both factors of 10.
