22+2=24 soaps
First we get 250 scraps and made 22 soap bars and 8 scraps are left.

Total 22+8 = 30 scraps are available which will result in 2 more soap bars.

From scrap of 11 bars one extra bar will be made.21 bars will give 2 more bars and 1 scraps.
250= 21*11 = 19
21*11 bars will give 22 extra bars and 11 scraps These 11 scraps will further make 1 bar and one scrap.
Thus 231 bars have given 23 extra bars and 1 scrap. Now remaining 19 bars will give 19 scraps, which will give 19 scraps, which will make 1 bar and 9 scraps.
So extra bars made = 23 + 1= 24
10(1+9) scraps are also there.

So total number of bars that can be made after cutting 250 bars of soap are = 250+24=274.
There are also 10 scraps spare.
