1 sticker costs $4.
1 packet of 4 stickers costs $15.
Abel has $53.
- What is the maximum number of packets that Abel can buy?
- How many stickers does Abel buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $15 in $53
= 53 ÷ 15
= 3 r 8
Maximum number of packets that Abel can buy = 3
(b)
Number of stickers that he can buy with $45
= 3 x 4
= 12
Number of stickers that Abel can buy with $8
= 8 ÷ 4
= 2
Total number of stickers that Abel buys
= 12 + 2
= 14
Answer(s): (a) 3; (b) 14
