1 sticker costs $2.
1 box of 10 stickers costs $11.
Abraham has $87.
- What is the maximum number of boxes that Abraham can buy?
- How many stickers does Abraham buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $11 in $87
= 87 ÷ 11
= 7 r 10
Maximum number of boxes that Abraham can buy = 7
(b)
Number of stickers that he can buy with $77
= 7 x 10
= 70
Number of stickers that Abraham can buy with $10
= 10 ÷ 2
= 5
Total number of stickers that Abraham buys
= 70 + 5
= 75
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 75
