1 marble costs $2.
1 box of 6 marbles costs $10.
Abraham has $54.
- What is the maximum number of boxes that Abraham can buy?
- How many marbles does Abraham buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $10 in $54
= 54 ÷ 10
= 5 r 4
Maximum number of boxes that Abraham can buy = 5
(b)
Number of marbles that he can buy with $50
= 5 x 6
= 30
Number of marbles that Abraham can buy with $4
= 4 ÷ 2
= 2
Total number of marbles that Abraham buys
= 30 + 2
= 32
Answer(s): (a) 5; (b) 32
