Andrew wants to buy some stickers for 15 girls.
Each bag of stickers has 6 stickers.
One bag of stickers costs $6.
- What is the least number of bags that he needs to buy so that each girl gets 7 stickers?
- How much does Andrew have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Andrew needs
= 15 x 7
= 105
Number of bags
= 105 ÷ 6
= 17 r 3
Least number of bags that he needs to buy
= 17 + 1
= 18
(b)
Amount that Andrew has to spend
= 18 x 6
= $108
Answer(s): (a) 18; (b) $108
