1 stamp costs $2.
1 bag of 4 stamps costs $8.
Alfred has $68.
- What is the maximum number of bags that Alfred can buy?
- How many stamps does Alfred buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $8 in $68
= 68 ÷ 8
= 8 r 4
Maximum number of bags that Alfred can buy = 8
(b)
Number of stamps that he can buy with $64
= 8 x 4
= 32
Number of stamps that Alfred can buy with $4
= 4 ÷ 2
= 2
Total number of stamps that Alfred buys
= 32 + 2
= 34
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) 34
