1 bead costs $2.
1 bag of 8 beads costs $12.
Aden has $64.
- What is the maximum number of bags that Aden can buy?
- How many beads does Aden buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $12 in $64
= 64 ÷ 12
= 5 r 4
Maximum number of bags that Aden can buy = 5
(b)
Number of beads that he can buy with $60
= 5 x 8
= 40
Number of beads that Aden can buy with $4
= 4 ÷ 2
= 2
Total number of beads that Aden buys
= 40 + 2
= 42
Answer(s): (a) 5; (b) 42
