1 sticker costs $2.
1 bag of 7 stickers costs $9.
Abraham has $87.
- What is the maximum number of bags that Abraham can buy?
- How many stickers does Abraham buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $9 in $87
= 87 ÷ 9
= 9 r 6
Maximum number of bags that Abraham can buy = 9
(b)
Number of stickers that he can buy with $81
= 9 x 7
= 63
Number of stickers that Abraham can buy with $6
= 6 ÷ 2
= 3
Total number of stickers that Abraham buys
= 63 + 3
= 66
Answer(s): (a) 9; (b) 66
