1 sticker costs $3.
1 packet of 6 stickers costs $8.
Andrew has $70.
- What is the maximum number of packets that Andrew can buy?
- How many stickers does Andrew buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $8 in $70
= 70 ÷ 8
= 8 r 6
Maximum number of packets that Andrew can buy = 8
(b)
Number of stickers that he can buy with $64
= 8 x 6
= 48
Number of stickers that Andrew can buy with $6
= 6 ÷ 3
= 2
Total number of stickers that Andrew buys
= 48 + 2
= 50
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) 50
