Question 953009: Murray is building an apartment complex. He needs to buy screws to use to hang up all the doors. There are 47 doors to be hung, and each door usually requires 8 screws. However, sometimes the doors or screws get ruined, so they’ll need extra. What is a good estimate for how many screws Murray should buy?

47*8 = 376. Add about 10% for lost/ruined screws. He needs 400.
