1 pen costs $2.
1 box of 10 pens costs $9.
Adam has $96.
- What is the maximum number of boxes that Adam can buy?
- How many pens does Adam buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $9 in $96
= 96 ÷ 9
= 10 r 6
Maximum number of boxes that Adam can buy = 10
(b)
Number of pens that he can buy with $90
= 10 x 10
= 100
Number of pens that Adam can buy with $6
= 6 ÷ 2
= 3
Total number of pens that Adam buys
= 100 + 3
= 103
Answer(s): (a) 10; (b) 103
