Alistair wants to buy some stickers for 8 girls.
Each packet of stickers has 10 stickers.
One packet of stickers costs $7.
- What is the least number of packets that he needs to buy so that each girl gets 6 stickers?
- How much does Alistair have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Alistair needs
= 8 x 6
= 48
Number of packets
= 48 ÷ 10
= 4 r 8
Least number of packets that he needs to buy
= 4 + 1
= 5
(b)
Amount that Alistair has to spend
= 5 x 7
= $35
Answer(s): (a) 5; (b) $35
