1 bead costs $2.
1 packet of 10 beads costs $9.
Ahmad has $62.
- What is the maximum number of packets that Ahmad can buy?
- How many beads does Ahmad buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $9 in $62
= 62 ÷ 9
= 6 r 8
Maximum number of packets that Ahmad can buy = 6
(b)
Number of beads that he can buy with $54
= 6 x 10
= 60
Number of beads that Ahmad can buy with $8
= 8 ÷ 2
= 4
Total number of beads that Ahmad buys
= 60 + 4
= 64
Answer(s): (a) 6; (b) 64
