1 stamp costs $2.
1 box of 5 stamps costs $6.
Ahmad has $94.
- What is the maximum number of boxes that Ahmad can buy?
- How many stamps does Ahmad buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $6 in $94
= 94 ÷ 6
= 15 r 4
Maximum number of boxes that Ahmad can buy = 15
(b)
Number of stamps that he can buy with $90
= 15 x 5
= 75
Number of stamps that Ahmad can buy with $4
= 4 ÷ 2
= 2
Total number of stamps that Ahmad buys
= 75 + 2
= 77
Answer(s): (a) 15; (b) 77
