The local recycling plant had a contract requiring anyone who obtained recycled bottlesfor storage for them, to bring them back to be recycled again. The plant could make one newbottle from every seven bottles returned. One week, on Monday, they got 343 bottles torecycle. Assuming that everybody brought back all the empties, how many could theyeventually remake from the 343?

• In 1st level they will make 343/7=49 bottles.
  In 2nd level they will make 49/7=7 bottles.
  In 3rd level they will make 7/7=1 bottle.
  Totally they can remake 49+7+1=57 bottles.
