1 eraser costs $2.
1 box of 8 erasers costs $8.
Amadeus has $92.
- What is the maximum number of boxes that Amadeus can buy?
- How many erasers does Amadeus buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $8 in $92
= 92 ÷ 8
= 11 r 4
Maximum number of boxes that Amadeus can buy = 11
(b)
Number of erasers that he can buy with $88
= 11 x 8
= 88
Number of erasers that Amadeus can buy with $4
= 4 ÷ 2
= 2
Total number of erasers that Amadeus buys
= 88 + 2
= 90
Answer(s): (a) 11; (b) 90
