Each packet of stickers has 5 stickers.
One packet of stickers costs $8.
- 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?

Number of packets that Adam can buy
= 125 ÷ 8
= 15 r 5
Number of stickers that Adam can buy
= 15 x 5
= 75
Number of sets of 9 stickers
= 75 ÷ 9
= 8 r 3
Most number of friends that he can give to = 8
(b)
Amount that Adam has to spend
= 15 x 8
= $120
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) $120
