a sticker cost 15 cents and a packet of 8 similar stickers cost 1 dollar clement buy 37 stickers what is the least amount of money that clement of money that clement spend on the stickers

In the packet, each sticker costs 1/8of a dollar = $.125

Try 4 packets and 5 individual = $4 + 5($.15) = ?

To find the least amount of money that Clement spends on the stickers, we need to determine the most cost-effective way to buy 37 stickers.

A packet of 8 similar stickers costs 1 dollar, which means the cost of each sticker in the packet is 1 dollar divided by 8 stickers, or 12.5 cents.

Since buying individual stickers costs 15 cents each, it is more cost-effective for Clement to buy stickers in packets.

To determine how many packets of stickers Clement needs, we divide 37 stickers by 8 stickers per packet:

37 stickers / 8 stickers per packet = 4 packets with 5 stickers remaining.

So, Clement needs to buy 4 packets of stickers, which will cost him:

4 packets * $1 per packet = $4

Therefore, the least amount of money that Clement spends on the stickers is $4.

To find the least amount of money spent by Clement on buying 37 stickers, we need to determine how many packets of stickers he would need to purchase.

Given that a packet of 8 stickers costs 1 dollar, we can calculate the cost per sticker by dividing the total cost by the number of stickers in each packet:

Cost per sticker = Total cost / Number of stickers per packet
Cost per sticker = 1 dollar / 8 stickers
Cost per sticker = 0.125 dollars per sticker

Now we can determine how many packets of stickers Clement needs to buy by dividing the total number of stickers he wants by the number of stickers in each packet:

Number of packets = Total number of stickers / Number of stickers per packet
Number of packets = 37 stickers / 8 stickers per packet
Number of packets = 4.625 packets

Since he cannot buy a fraction of a packet, Clement needs to round up to the nearest whole number to ensure he has enough stickers. Therefore, he needs to buy 5 packets.

To find the least amount of money Clement spends, we multiply the number of packets by the cost per packet:

Total cost = Number of packets * Cost per packet
Total cost = 5 packets * 1 dollar
Total cost = 5 dollars

Therefore, the least amount of money that Clement spends on the stickers is 5 dollars.
