How many soap can be manufactured

Sir / madam,
My question is

In a soap company, a soap is manufactured with 11 parts. For making one soap you will get 1 part as scrap. At the end of the day you have 251 such scraps. From that how many soaps can be manufactured..

According to myself the solution is,
251/11 = 22 Scrap + 22 Soap.
On this 22 Scrap
22/11 = 2 Scrap + 2 Soap
Total Soap can be manufactured is : 24 Soap.

Am I right with answer and approach to the problem ?

Advance Thanks,

    I think the answer is 25

    251/11=22scraps+22soaps(remainder 9 scraps)
    22/11=2scraps+2 soaps
    so now you have a total 11 scraps with which =1scrap+1soap

    so totally 22+2+1=25 soaps
