Worked Solution
Step 1: Find the discounted price of each packet of stickers.
Discount = 1/4 × $3.60 = $0.90
Sale price = $3.60 − $0.90 = $2.70 per packet
Step 2: Find total spent on stationery set and notebook.
$8.50 + $6.20 = $14.70
Step 3: Find remaining money.
$45.00 − $14.70 = $30.30
Step 4: Find the number of packets.
$30.30 ÷ $2.70 = 11.22...
Priya can buy 11 whole packets (she cannot buy a fraction of a packet).
Answer: 11
Correct answer: 11
