Alfred wants to buy some stickers for 6 children.
Each bag of stickers has 5 stickers.
One bag of stickers costs $7.
- What is the least number of bags that he needs to buy so that each child gets 9 stickers?
- How much does Alfred have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Alfred needs
= 6 x 9
= 54
Number of bags
= 54 ÷ 5
= 10 r 4
Least number of bags that he needs to buy
= 10 + 1
= 11
(b)
Amount that Alfred has to spend
= 11 x 7
= $77
Answer(s): (a) 11; (b) $77
