1 marble costs $2.
1 box of 10 marbles costs $13.
Aaron has $90.
- What is the maximum number of boxes that Aaron can buy?
- How many marbles does Aaron buy in total?
(a)
Sets of $13 in $90
= 90 ÷ 13
= 6 r 12
Maximum number of boxes that Aaron can buy = 6
(b)
Number of marbles that he can buy with $78
= 6 x 10
= 60
Number of marbles that Aaron can buy with $12
= 12 ÷ 2
= 6
Total number of marbles that Aaron buys
= 60 + 6
= 66
Answer(s): (a) 6; (b) 66
