Aqil wants to buy some stickers for 15 students.
Each packet of stickers has 6 stickers.
One packet of stickers costs $8.
- What is the least number of packets that he needs to buy so that each student gets 3 stickers?
- How much does Aqil have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Aqil needs
= 15 x 3
= 45
Number of packets
= 45 ÷ 6
= 7 r 3
Least number of packets that he needs to buy
= 7 + 1
= 8
(b)
Amount that Aqil has to spend
= 8 x 8
= $64
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) $64
