1 pen costs $2.
1 bag of 10 pens costs $15.
Abdul has $81.
- What is the maximum number of bags that Abdul can buy?
- How many pens does Abdul buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $15 in $81
= 81 ÷ 15
= 5 r 6
Maximum number of bags that Abdul can buy = 5
(b)
Number of pens that he can buy with $75
= 5 x 10
= 50
Number of pens that Abdul can buy with $6
= 6 ÷ 2
= 3
Total number of pens that Abdul buys
= 50 + 3
= 53
Answer(s): (a) 5; (b) 53
