1 bead costs $2.
1 box of 6 beads costs $7.
Adriel has $88.
- What is the maximum number of boxes that Adriel can buy?
- How many beads does Adriel buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $7 in $88
= 88 ÷ 7
= 12 r 4
Maximum number of boxes that Adriel can buy = 12
(b)
Number of beads that he can buy with $84
= 12 x 6
= 72
Number of beads that Adriel can buy with $4
= 4 ÷ 2
= 2
Total number of beads that Adriel buys
= 72 + 2
= 74
Answer(s): (a) 12; (b) 74
