Miss Smith bought 60 notebooks and 72 pencils to make identical packages with some notebooks and some pencils for her students.
She used everything she bought, and every student got a package. What is the largest number of packages she can make? How many notebooks and pencils would be in each package?
Answer: 12 packages with 5 notebooks and 6 pencils in each package.
Step-by-step explanation:
The greatest common factor of 60 and 72 is 12. Thus divide both numbers(60 and 72) by 12 to get 5 and 6. Thus, Miss Smith made 12 packages with 5 notebooks and 6 pencils in each package.
With a 12% discount, 18.48 is the price per ticket (2.52 per ticket saved). In order to determine the amount of tickets, we divide the saved amount by the amount saved per ticket.
