Calculation and observed tool result

Record A

Stock = 1 × 500 + 100 = 600 ml; floor(600 ÷ 50) = 12 refills

Recorded quantity: 600 ml.

Record B

Stock = 1 × 500 + 100 = 600 ml; floor(600 ÷ 75) = 8 refills

Recorded quantity: 600 ml.

Carry out this task

  1. Open the linked tool for Record A.
  2. Use the two entries as alternative calculations, not duplicate bottles.
  3. Check each result separately; follow the interpretation before retaining both records as physical stock.

What the result means

The 600 ml supply gives twelve smaller or eight larger full refills.

A mistake to avoid

The calculation does not choose the correct dispenser fill amount.

Limits of this example
