Each box of stickers has 9 stickers.
One box of stickers costs $5.
- What is the least number of boxs that he needs to buy so that each pupil gets 3 stickers?
- How much does Abdul have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Abdul needs
= 14 x 3
= 42
Number of boxs
= 42 ÷ 9
= 4 r 6
Least number of boxs that he needs to buy
= 4 + 1
= 5
(b)
Amount that Abdul has to spend
= 5 x 5
= $25
Answer(s): (a) 5; (b) $25
