1 sticker costs $8.
For every 10 stickers bought, a discount of $5 is given.
- How much do 10 stickers cost?
- How much do 14 stickers cost?
- How much do 25 stickers cost?
(a)
Cost of every 10 stickers
= 10 x 8 - 5
= 80 - 5
= $75
(b)
Number of stickers that do not belong to a set
= 14 ÷ 10
= 1 r 4
Cost of the 4 extra stickers
= 4 x 8
= $32
Cost of 14 stickers
= 75 + 32
= $107
(c)
Number of sets of 10 stickers
= 25 ÷ 10
= 2 r 5
Cost of 20 stickers
= 2 x 75
= $150
Cost of 5 stickers
= 5 x 8
= $40
Cost of 25 stickers
= 150 + 40
= $190
Answer(s): (a) $75; (b) $107; (c) $190
