Aaron wants to buy some stickers for 12 pupils.
Each packet of stickers has 5 stickers.
One packet of stickers costs $4.
- What is the least number of packets that he needs to buy so that each pupil gets 3 stickers?
- How much does Aaron have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Aaron needs
= 12 x 3
= 36
Number of packets
= 36 ÷ 5
= 7 r 1
Least number of packets that he needs to buy
= 7 + 1
= 8
(b)
Amount that Aaron has to spend
= 8 x 4
= $32
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) $32
