Each box of stickers has 9 stickers.
One box of stickers costs $7.
- What is the least number of boxs that he needs to buy so that each student gets 7 stickers?
- How much does Aaron have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Aaron needs
= 11 x 7
= 77
Number of boxs
= 77 ÷ 9
= 8 r 5
Least number of boxs that he needs to buy
= 8 + 1
= 9
(b)
Amount that Aaron has to spend
= 9 x 7
= $63
Answer(s): (a) 9; (b) $63
