1 button costs $2.
1 packet of 7 buttons costs $14.
Ali has $96.
- What is the maximum number of packets that Ali can buy?
- How many buttons does Ali buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $14 in $96
= 96 ÷ 14
= 6 r 12
Maximum number of packets that Ali can buy = 6
(b)
Number of buttons that he can buy with $84
= 6 x 7
= 42
Number of buttons that Ali can buy with $12
= 12 ÷ 2
= 6
Total number of buttons that Ali buys
= 42 + 6
= 48
Answer(s): (a) 6; (b) 48
