Abel wants to buy some stickers for 14 children.
Each bag of stickers has 10 stickers.
One bag of stickers costs $9.
- What is the least number of bags that he needs to buy so that each child gets 4 stickers?
- How much does Abel have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Abel needs
= 14 x 4
= 56
Number of bags
= 56 ÷ 10
= 5 r 6
Least number of bags that he needs to buy
= 5 + 1
= 6
(b)
Amount that Abel has to spend
= 6 x 9
= $54
Answer(s): (a) 6; (b) $54
