Ahmad wants to buy some stickers for 10 students.
Each packet of stickers has 6 stickers.
One packet of stickers costs $4.
- What is the least number of packets 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
= 10 x 8
= 80
Number of packets
= 80 ÷ 6
= 13 r 2
Least number of packets that he needs to buy
= 13 + 1
= 14
(b)
Amount that Ahmad has to spend
= 14 x 4
= $56
Answer(s): (a) 14; (b) $56
