1 eraser costs $3.
1 bag of 4 erasers costs $11.
Aaron has $72.
- What is the maximum number of bags that Aaron can buy?
- How many erasers does Aaron buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $11 in $72
= 72 ÷ 11
= 6 r 6
Maximum number of bags that Aaron can buy = 6
(b)
Number of erasers that he can buy with $66
= 6 x 4
= 24
Number of erasers that Aaron can buy with $6
= 6 ÷ 3
= 2
Total number of erasers that Aaron buys
= 24 + 2
= 26
Answer(s): (a) 6; (b) 26
