Adam wants to buy some stickers for 12 children.
Each packet of stickers has 7 stickers.
One packet of stickers costs $4.
- What is the least number of packets that he needs to buy so that each child gets 8 stickers?
- How much does Adam have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Adam needs
= 12 x 8
= 96
Number of packets
= 96 ÷ 7
= 13 r 5
Least number of packets that he needs to buy
= 13 + 1
= 14
(b)
Amount that Adam has to spend
= 14 x 4
= $56
Answer(s): (a) 14; (b) $56
