Aden wants to buy some stickers for 14 children.
Each bag of stickers has 5 stickers.
One bag of stickers costs $8.
- What is the least number of bags that he needs to buy so that each child gets 8 stickers?
- How much does Aden have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Aden needs
= 14 x 8
= 112
Number of bags
= 112 ÷ 5
= 22 r 2
Least number of bags that he needs to buy
= 22 + 1
= 23
(b)
Amount that Aden has to spend
= 23 x 8
= $184
Answer(s): (a) 23; (b) $184
