Each box of stickers has 8 stickers.
One box of stickers costs $4.
- What is the least number of boxs that he needs to buy so that each girl gets 7 stickers?
- How much does Asher have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Asher needs
= 11 x 7
= 77
Number of boxs
= 77 ÷ 8
= 9 r 5
Least number of boxs that he needs to buy
= 9 + 1
= 10
(b)
Amount that Asher has to spend
= 10 x 4
= $40
Answer(s): (a) 10; (b) $40
