Alan wants to buy some stickers for 10 girls.
Each box of stickers has 6 stickers.
One box of stickers costs $9.
- What is the least number of boxs that he needs to buy so that each girl gets 7 stickers?
- How much does Alan have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Alan needs
= 10 x 7
= 70
Number of boxs
= 70 ÷ 6
= 11 r 4
Least number of boxs that he needs to buy
= 11 + 1
= 12
(b)
Amount that Alan has to spend
= 12 x 9
= $108
Answer(s): (a) 12; (b) $108
