Emma wants to buy some markers of the same price. If she buys 6 markers, she will have $9.90 left. If she buys 8 markers, she will have no money left.
- How much does each marker cost?
- How much does Emma have?
(a)
Cost of 2 markers = $9.90
Cost of each marker
= 9.90 ÷ 2
= $4.95
(b)
Since Emma will have no money left if she buys 8 markers, the amount that she has is the cost of 8 markers.
Amount that Emma has
= 8 x 4.95
= $39.60
Answer(s): (a) $4.95; (b) $39.60
