| Item name | Open tablet lot |
| Storage location | Household supply shelf |
| Minimum stock | 0 |

|---|---|
| Tablets per pack | 30 |
| Tablets per wash | 1 |
| Item name | Sealed tablet box |
| Storage location | Household supply shelf |
| Minimum stock | 0 |
Calculation and observed tool result
Record A
Stock = 1 × 9 + 0 = 9 tablets; floor(9 ÷ 1) = 9 loadsRecorded quantity: 9 tablets.
Record B
Stock = 1 × 30 + 0 = 30 tablets; floor(30 ÷ 1) = 30 loadsRecorded quantity: 30 tablets.
Carry out this task
- Open the linked tool for Record A.
- Create separate records for the counted lot and sealed format.
- Check each result separately; follow the interpretation before retaining both records as physical stock.
What the result means
Nine working washes and thirty reserve washes remain identifiable.
A mistake to avoid
Do not count the open lot as another sealed thirty-tablet box.
