1 sticker costs $2.
1 bag of 50 stickers costs $25.
Adam needs 62 stickers.
- What is the minimum number of bags that Adam should buy?
- How much will Adam spend?
(a)
Sets of 50 stickers
= 62 ÷ 50
= 1 r 12
Amount that Adam has to spend to buy 12 stickers
= 12 x 2
= $24
To buy 12 stickers at $24 is more expensive than 50 stickers at $25.
Minimum number of bags that Adam has to buy
= 1 + 1
= 2
(b)
Amount that Adam has to spend on 2 bags
= 2 x 25
= $50
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) $50
