Answer
The order is short by $~~1116~oysters$
Work Step by Step
We can find the volume of the container:
$V = (100~cm)(12~cm)(20~cm) = 24,000~cm^3$
$V = 24~L$
$V = (24~L)(\frac{1~US~pint}{0.4732~L})$
$V = 50.72~US~pints$
We can find the expected number of oysters:
$(50.72~US~pints)(32~oysters/pint) = 1623~oysters$
We can find the actual number of oysters:
$(50.72~US~pints)(10~oysters/pint) = 507~oysters$
We can calculate the difference:
$1623~oysters-507~oysters = 1116~oysters$
The order is short by $~~1116~oysters$
