Ms Parker is planning to organize a party. she wants to purchase hamburgers and hot dogs for the party. the hamburgers come in a package of 10, and the hotdogs come in a package of 11. she wants to purchase an amount that will not leave any extra hamburgers or hot dogs.

So we need to find the quantity to make a common number with both.

The hamburgers come in a package of 10, and the hotdogs come in a package of 11.

We all know that product of 10 always has a zero in the last, so we have to multiply 11 with a number for a digit with a zero in the last.

The nearest product of 11 with a zero, in the end, is 110 [∴ 11*10= 110]

So now multiple 10 with 11 to make the quality 110.

Now we have 11 packages of hamburgers and 10 packages of hotdogs. And the total quantity of hamburgers and hotdogs is 110, so now the number of hamburgers and hotdogs are equal so that will not leave any extra hamburgers or hot dogs.
