PSLE Ahmad used
23 of his money to buy 6 files. He used the rest of his money to buy 2 files and 3 markers.
- What fraction of his money did Ahmad use to buy the 3 markers?
- If 1 marker was given for free for every 6 markers bought, how many markers would Ahmad be able to buy if he were to use all his money to buy markers?
(a)
Fraction of his money used to buy 2 files and 3 markers
= 1 -
23 =
13 6 files →
23 of his money
1 pen →
23 ÷ 6 =
19 of his money
2 files → 2 x
19 =
29 of his money
2 files + 3 markers →
13 of his money
3 markers →
13 -
29 =
39 -
29 =
19 of his money
(b)
3 markers →
191 marker →
19 ÷ 3 =
127 of his money
If 1 marker cost
127 of his money, Ahmad could buy 27 markers (Not including the free ones).
Number of free markers that Ahmad could get
= 27 ÷ 6
= 4 r 3
Total number of markers that Ahmad could get
= 27 + 4
= 31
Answer(s): (a)
19; (b) 31
