Albert wants to buy some stickers for 14 boys.
Each bag of stickers has 8 stickers.
One bag of stickers costs $9.
- What is the least number of bags that he needs to buy so that each boy gets 9 stickers?
- How much does Albert have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Albert needs
= 14 x 9
= 126
Number of bags
= 126 ÷ 8
= 15 r 6
Least number of bags that he needs to buy
= 15 + 1
= 16
(b)
Amount that Albert has to spend
= 16 x 9
= $144
Answer(s): (a) 16; (b) $144
