Alfred wants to buy some stickers for 7 boys.
Each packet of stickers has 10 stickers.
One packet of stickers costs $3.
- What is the least number of packets that he needs to buy so that each boy gets 8 stickers?
- How much does Alfred have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Alfred needs
= 7 x 8
= 56
Number of packets
= 56 ÷ 10
= 5 r 6
Least number of packets that he needs to buy
= 5 + 1
= 6
(b)
Amount that Alfred has to spend
= 6 x 3
= $18
Answer(s): (a) 6; (b) $18
