1 stamp costs $2.
1 bag of 9 stamps costs $14.
Adrian has $52.
- What is the maximum number of bags that Adrian can buy?
- How many stamps does Adrian buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $14 in $52
= 52 ÷ 14
= 3 r 10
Maximum number of bags that Adrian can buy = 3
(b)
Number of stamps that he can buy with $42
= 3 x 9
= 27
Number of stamps that Adrian can buy with $10
= 10 ÷ 2
= 5
Total number of stamps that Adrian buys
= 27 + 5
= 32
Answer(s): (a) 3; (b) 32
