1 eraser costs $5.
1 packet of 4 erasers costs $11.
Abraham has $98.
- What is the maximum number of packets that Abraham can buy?
- How many erasers does Abraham buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $11 in $98
= 98 ÷ 11
= 8 r 10
Maximum number of packets that Abraham can buy = 8
(b)
Number of erasers that he can buy with $88
= 8 x 4
= 32
Number of erasers that Abraham can buy with $10
= 10 ÷ 5
= 2
Total number of erasers that Abraham buys
= 32 + 2
= 34
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) 34
