1 stamp costs $5.
1 packet of 4 stamps costs $14.
Aqil has $66.
- What is the maximum number of packets that Aqil can buy?
- How many stamps does Aqil buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $14 in $66
= 66 ÷ 14
= 4 r 10
Maximum number of packets that Aqil can buy = 4
(b)
Number of stamps that he can buy with $56
= 4 x 4
= 16
Number of stamps that Aqil can buy with $10
= 10 ÷ 5
= 2
Total number of stamps that Aqil buys
= 16 + 2
= 18
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) 18
