1 packet of 6 pens costs $7.
Amadeus has $83.
- What is the maximum number of packets that Amadeus can buy?
- How many pens does Amadeus buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $7 in $83
= 83 ÷ 7
= 11 r 6
Maximum number of packets that Amadeus can buy = 11
(b)
Number of pens that he can buy with $77
= 11 x 6
= 66
Number of pens that Amadeus can buy with $6
= 6 ÷ 2

Total number of pens that Amadeus buys
= 66 + 3
= 69
Answer(s): (a) 11; (b) 69
