Question

Carla has $\$56$. She buys $5$ drawing kits worth $\$8$ each. How much money will she be left with after buying the drawing kits? How many more such drawing kits can she buy?

• A. $\$24,3$
• B. $\$16,2$
• C. $\$16,3$
• D. $\$24,2$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\$16,2$

Amount of money with Carla $=\$56$
Number of drawing kits she buys $=5$
Price of each drawing kit $=\$8$
Total price of 8 such drawing kits $=8\times 5=\$40$
Amount left with Carla $=56-40=\$16$
The price of one drawing kit is $\$8$ and the amount left with her is $\$16.$
She can buy $16$ divided by $8=2$ more drawing kits with the remaining money.
