Each box of stickers has 10 stickers.
One box of stickers costs $6.
- What is the least number of boxs that he needs to buy so that each boy gets 8 stickers?
- How much does Amadeus have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Amadeus needs

= 7 r 2
Least number of boxs that he needs to buy

= 8
(b)
Amount that Amadeus has to spend
= 8 x 6
= $48
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) $48
