Alfred wants to buy some stickers for 10 students.
Each packet of stickers has 8 stickers.
One packet of stickers costs $3.
- What is the least number of packets that he needs to buy so that each student gets 6 stickers?
- How much does Alfred have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Alfred needs
= 10 x 6
= 60
Number of packets
= 60 ÷ 8
= 7 r 4
Least number of packets that he needs to buy
= 7 + 1
= 8
(b)
Amount that Alfred has to spend
= 8 x 3
= $24
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) $24
