Alan wants to buy some stickers for 13 students.
Each bag of stickers has 5 stickers.
One bag of stickers costs $7.
- What is the least number of bags that he needs to buy so that each student gets 4 stickers?
- How much does Alan have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Alan needs
= 13 x 4
= 52
Number of bags
= 52 ÷ 5
= 10 r 2
Least number of bags that he needs to buy
= 10 + 1
= 11
(b)
Amount that Alan has to spend
= 11 x 7
= $77
Answer(s): (a) 11; (b) $77
