    Given:

    D = 40 pcs / hour

    T = 36/60 = 0.60 hours

    X = 0.20

    C = 10

    Find the value of N.

    N = DT (1 + X) / C

    N = [40/hr * 0.60 hr (1 + 0.20) ] / 10

    N = [24 (1.20) ] / 10

    N = 28.8 / 10

    N = 2.88 or 3

    3 containers should be used to support the operation.
