Andrew wants to buy some stickers for 7 pupils.
Each bag of stickers has 9 stickers.
One bag of stickers costs $3.
- What is the least number of bags that he needs to buy so that each pupil gets 6 stickers?
- How much does Andrew have to spend?
(a)
Number of stickers that Andrew needs
= 7 x 6
= 42
Number of bags
= 42 ÷ 9
= 4 r 6
Least number of bags that he needs to buy
= 4 + 1
= 5
(b)
Amount that Andrew has to spend
= 5 x 3
= $15
Answer(s): (a) 5; (b) $15
