1 marble costs $7.
For every 10 marbles bought, a discount of $5 is given.
- How much do 10 marbles cost?
- How much do 16 marbles cost?
- How much do 33 marbles cost?
(a)
Cost of every 10 marbles
= 10 x 7 - 5
= 70 - 5
= $65
(b)
Number of marbles that do not belong to a set
= 16 ÷ 10
= 1 r 6
Cost of the 6 extra marbles
= 6 x 7
= $42
Cost of 16 marbles
= 65 + 42
= $107
(c)
Number of sets of 10 marbles
= 33 ÷ 10
= 3 r 3
Cost of 30 marbles
= 3 x 65
= $195
Cost of 3 marbles
= 3 x 7
= $21
Cost of 33 marbles
= 195 + 21
= $216
Answer(s): (a) $65; (b) $107; (c) $216
