Abdul wants to buy some stickers for 15 children.
Each box of stickers has 6 stickers.
One box of stickers costs $6.
- What is the least number of boxs that he needs to buy so that each child gets 9 stickers?
- How much does Abdul have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Abdul needs
= 15 x 9
= 135
Number of boxs
= 135 ÷ 6
= 22 r 3
Least number of boxs that he needs to buy
= 22 + 1
= 23
(b)
Amount that Abdul has to spend
= 23 x 6
= $138
Answer(s): (a) 23; (b) $138
