Each bag of stickers has 10 stickers.
One bag of stickers costs $9.
- What is the most number of friends that he can give to so that each friend gets 9 stickers?
- How much does Adam have to spend?
(a)
Number of bags that Adam can buy
= 73 ÷ 9
= 8 r 1
Number of stickers that Adam can buy
= 8 x 10
= 80
Number of sets of 9 stickers
= 80 ÷ 9
= 8 r 8
Most number of friends that he can give to = 8
(b)
Amount that Adam has to spend
= 8 x 9
= $72
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) $72
