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 7 stickers?
- How much does Abel have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Abel needs
= 5 x 7
= 35
Number of boxs
= 35 ÷ 9
= 3 r 8
Least number of boxs that he needs to buy
= 3 + 1
= 4
(b)
Amount that Abel has to spend
= 4 x 5
= $20
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $20
