Asher wants to buy some stickers for 13 students.
Each bag of stickers has 10 stickers.
One bag of stickers costs $6.
- What is the least number of bags that he needs to buy so that each student gets 3 stickers?
- How much does Asher have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Asher needs
= 13 x 3
= 39
Number of bags
= 39 ÷ 10
= 3 r 9
Least number of bags that he needs to buy
= 3 + 1
= 4
(b)
Amount that Asher has to spend
= 4 x 6
= $24
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) $24
