Andrew wants to buy some stickers for 13 children.
Each bag of stickers has 8 stickers.
One bag of stickers costs $6.
- What is the least number of bags that he needs to buy so that each child gets 6 stickers?
- How much does Andrew have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Andrew needs
= 13 x 6
= 78
Number of bags
= 78 ÷ 8
= 9 r 6
Least number of bags that he needs to buy
= 9 + 1
= 10
(b)
Amount that Andrew has to spend
= 10 x 6
= $60
Answer(s): (a) 10; (b) $60
