Asher wants to buy some stickers for 13 boys.
Each packet of stickers has 8 stickers.
One packet of stickers costs $5.
- What is the least number of packets that he needs to buy so that each boy gets 3 stickers?
- How much does Asher have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Asher needs
= 13 x 3
= 39
Number of packets
= 39 ÷ 8
= 4 r 7
Least number of packets that he needs to buy
= 4 + 1
= 5
(b)
Amount that Asher has to spend
= 5 x 5
= $25
Answer(s): (a) 5; (b) $25
