1 sticker costs $2.
1 box of 9 stickers costs $5.
Adrian has $84.
- What is the maximum number of boxes that Adrian can buy?
- How many stickers does Adrian buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $5 in $84
= 84 ÷ 5
= 16 r 4
Maximum number of boxes that Adrian can buy = 16
(b)
Number of stickers that he can buy with $80
= 16 x 9
= 144
Number of stickers that Adrian can buy with $4
= 4 ÷ 2
= 2
Total number of stickers that Adrian buys
= 144 + 2
= 146
Answer(s): (a) 16; (b) 146
