Victoria wants to buy 16 identical staplers as follows.
1 for $4.906 for $24.50 What is the least amount of money she needs to buy 16 such staplers?
Maximum number of sets that Victoria can buy
= 16 ÷ 6
= 2 r 4
Amount to pay for 2 sets of 6 staplers
= 2 x 24.50
= $49.00
Amount to pay for the remaining staplers not part of a set
= 4 x 4.90
= $19.60
Least amount that Victoria needed to pay
= 49.00 + 19.60
= $68.60
Answer(s): $68.60
