Albert wants to buy some stickers for 14 students.
Each box of stickers has 5 stickers.
One box of stickers costs $9.
- What is the least number of boxs that he needs to buy so that each student gets 4 stickers?
- How much does Albert have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Albert needs
= 14 x 4
= 56
Number of boxs
= 56 ÷ 5
= 11 r 1
Least number of boxs that he needs to buy
= 11 + 1
= 12
(b)
Amount that Albert has to spend
= 12 x 9
= $108
Answer(s): (a) 12; (b) $108
