Alan wants to buy some stickers for 15 pupils.
Each box of stickers has 8 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 Alan have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Alan needs
= 15 x 4
= 60
Number of boxs
= 60 ÷ 8
= 7 r 4
Least number of boxs that he needs to buy
= 7 + 1
= 8
(b)
Amount that Alan has to spend
= 8 x 5
= $40
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) $40
