Albert wants to buy some stickers for 13 students.
Each box of stickers has 7 stickers.
One box of stickers costs $4.
- What is the least number of boxs that he needs to buy so that each student gets 8 stickers?
- How much does Albert have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Albert needs
= 13 x 8
= 104
Number of boxs
= 104 ÷ 7
= 14 r 6
Least number of boxs that he needs to buy
= 14 + 1
= 15
(b)
Amount that Albert has to spend
= 15 x 4
= $60
Answer(s): (a) 15; (b) $60
