Alistair wants to buy some stickers for 10 students.
Each bag of stickers has 7 stickers.
One bag of stickers costs $8.
- What is the least number of bags that he needs to buy so that each student gets 8 stickers?
- How much does Alistair have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Alistair needs
= 10 x 8
= 80
Number of bags
= 80 ÷ 7
= 11 r 3
Least number of bags that he needs to buy
= 11 + 1
= 12
(b)
Amount that Alistair has to spend
= 12 x 8
= $96
Answer(s): (a) 12; (b) $96
