Solution

The correct option is D The amount returned after paying for the sticks
Let us write a multiplication equation to find the number of sticks.

Total cost of sticks = Number of sticks
$\times$ Cost of each stick

Number of sticks = Total cost of sticks $\div$ Cost of each stick

Let the number of sticks be $“ p ”$ .

$p = $ 36 \div $ 9 = 4 sticks$

We were able to calculate the number of sticks without using the amount returned after paying for the sticks. Hence, it is not needed.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
