Andrew wants to buy some stickers for 11 children.
Each packet of stickers has 7 stickers.
One packet of stickers costs $8.
- What is the least number of packets that he needs to buy so that each child gets 9 stickers?
- How much does Andrew have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Andrew needs
= 11 x 9
= 99
Number of packets
= 99 ÷ 7
= 14 r 1
Least number of packets that he needs to buy
= 14 + 1
= 15
(b)
Amount that Andrew has to spend
= 15 x 8
= $120
Answer(s): (a) 15; (b) $120
