1 pen costs $4.
1 packet of 4 pens costs $13.
Albert has $60.
- What is the maximum number of packets that Albert can buy?
- How many pens does Albert buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $13 in $60
= 60 ÷ 13
= 4 r 8
Maximum number of packets that Albert can buy = 4
(b)
Number of pens that he can buy with $52
= 4 x 4
= 16
Number of pens that Albert can buy with $8
= 8 ÷ 4
= 2
Total number of pens that Albert buys
= 16 + 2
= 18
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) 18
