Alfie wants to buy some stickers for 9 boys.
Each bag of stickers has 10 stickers.
One bag of stickers costs $7.
- What is the least number of bags that he needs to buy so that each boy gets 6 stickers?
- How much does Alfie have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Alfie needs
= 9 x 6
= 54
Number of bags
= 54 ÷ 10
= 5 r 4
Least number of bags that he needs to buy
= 5 + 1
= 6
(b)
Amount that Alfie has to spend
= 6 x 7
= $42
Answer(s): (a) 6; (b) $42
