Alan wants to buy some stickers for 7 children.
Each bag of stickers has 5 stickers.
One bag of stickers costs $6.
- What is the least number of bags that he needs to buy so that each child gets 3 stickers?
- How much does Alan have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Alan needs
= 7 x 3
= 21
Number of bags
= 21 ÷ 5
= 4 r 1
Least number of bags that he needs to buy
= 4 + 1
= 5
(b)
Amount that Alan has to spend
= 5 x 6
= $30
Answer(s): (a) 5; (b) $30
