Ahmad wants to buy some stickers for 15 girls.
Each bag of stickers has 8 stickers.
One bag of stickers costs $8.
- What is the least number of bags that he needs to buy so that each girl gets 9 stickers?
- How much does Ahmad have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Ahmad needs
= 15 x 9
= 135
Number of bags
= 135 ÷ 8
= 16 r 7
Least number of bags that he needs to buy
= 16 + 1
= 17
(b)
Amount that Ahmad has to spend
= 17 x 8
= $136
Answer(s): (a) 17; (b) $136
