1 coin costs $2.
1 box of 9 coins costs $8.
Abdul has $62.
- What is the maximum number of boxes that Abdul can buy?
- How many coins does Abdul buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $8 in $62
= 62 ÷ 8
= 7 r 6
Maximum number of boxes that Abdul can buy = 7
(b)
Number of coins that he can buy with $56
= 7 x 9
= 63
Number of coins that Abdul can buy with $6
= 6 ÷ 2
= 3
Total number of coins that Abdul buys
= 63 + 3
= 66
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 66
