Each box of stickers has 9 stickers.
One box of stickers costs $5.
- What is the least number of boxs that he needs to buy so that each pupil gets 4 stickers?
- How much does Alex have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Alex needs
= 14 x 4

= 6 r 2
Least number of boxs that he needs to buy
= 6 + 1
= 7
(b)
Amount that Alex has to spend
= 7 x 5
= $35
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) $35
