Answer: at lease 8 packages of Aero flight tees.

Step-by-step explanation:

At least 10 golf tees for each member of his foursome = total of at least 4*10 = 40 tees.

2 packages of the generic golf tees, that are packaged by the dozen = 2*12 = 24 tees.

So, Bill must buy at least 16 Aero tees.

This means he must buy 8 pairs
