Aqil wants to buy some stickers for 10 girls.
Each bag of stickers has 6 stickers.
One bag of stickers costs $6.
- What is the least number of bags that he needs to buy so that each girl gets 8 stickers?
- How much does Aqil have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Aqil needs
= 10 x 8
= 80
Number of bags
= 80 ÷ 6
= 13 r 2
Least number of bags that he needs to buy
= 13 + 1
= 14
(b)
Amount that Aqil has to spend
= 14 x 6
= $84
Answer(s): (a) 14; (b) $84
