Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the number of full cans

Divide the total number of balls by the number of balls per can: $86\div8 = 10.75$.

Step2: Determine the number of cans needed

Since we can't order a fraction of a can and we need to have enough balls, we use the ceiling function. So we need $11$ cans.
