1 coin costs $2.
1 packet of 6 coins costs $11.
Asher has $54.
- What is the maximum number of packets that Asher can buy?
- How many coins does Asher buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $11 in $54
= 54 ÷ 11
= 4 r 10
Maximum number of packets that Asher can buy = 4
(b)
Number of coins that he can buy with $44
= 4 x 6
= 24
Number of coins that Asher can buy with $10
= 10 ÷ 2
= 5
Total number of coins that Asher buys
= 24 + 5
= 29
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) 29
