Mason wants to buy 13 identical markers as follows.
1 for $4.406 for $24.50 What is the least amount of money she needs to buy 13 such markers?
Maximum number of sets that Mason can buy
= 13 ÷ 6
= 2 r 1
Amount to pay for 2 sets of 6 markers
= 2 x 24.50
= $49.00
Amount to pay for the remaining markers not part of a set
= 1 x 4.40
= $4.40
Least amount that Mason needed to pay
= 49.00 + 4.40
= $53.40
Answer(s): $53.40
