1 bead costs $2.
1 box of 10 beads costs $9.
Ali has $98.
- What is the maximum number of boxes that Ali can buy?
- How many beads does Ali buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $9 in $98
= 98 ÷ 9
= 10 r 8
Maximum number of boxes that Ali can buy = 10
(b)
Number of beads that he can buy with $90
= 10 x 10
= 100
Number of beads that Ali can buy with $8
= 8 ÷ 2
= 4
Total number of beads that Ali buys
= 100 + 4
= 104
Answer(s): (a) 10; (b) 104
