Adrian wants to buy some stickers for 8 girls.
Each box of stickers has 7 stickers.
One box of stickers costs $4.
- What is the least number of boxs that he needs to buy so that each girl gets 9 stickers?
- How much does Adrian have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Adrian needs
= 8 x 9
= 72
Number of boxs
= 72 ÷ 7
= 10 r 2
Least number of boxs that he needs to buy
= 10 + 1
= 11
(b)
Amount that Adrian has to spend
= 11 x 4
= $44
Answer(s): (a) 11; (b) $44
