Ahmad wants to buy some stickers for 14 students.
Each box of stickers has 6 stickers.
One box of stickers costs $9.
- What is the least number of boxs that he needs to buy so that each student gets 8 stickers?
- How much does Ahmad have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Ahmad needs
= 14 x 8
= 112
Number of boxs
= 112 ÷ 6
= 18 r 4
Least number of boxs that he needs to buy
= 18 + 1
= 19
(b)
Amount that Ahmad has to spend
= 19 x 9
= $171
Answer(s): (a) 19; (b) $171
