Liam wants to buy some markers of the same price. If she buys 10 markers, she will have $8.60 left. If she buys 12 markers, she will have no money left.
- How much does each marker cost?
- How much does Liam have?
(a)
Cost of 2 markers = $8.60
Cost of each marker
= 8.60 ÷ 2
= $4.30
(b)
Since Liam will have no money left if she buys 12 markers, the amount that she has is the cost of 12 markers.
Amount that Liam has
= 12 x 4.30
= $51.60
Answer(s): (a) $4.30; (b) $51.60
