Mrs. Cook has a jar of stickers in her classroom. She hands out stickers as a reward to students who do well on exams. The jar is getting low, and she will need to buy more stickers. Suppose there were only 5 star stickers and 4 smiley face stickers in Mrs. Cook’s jar. If Mrs. Cook wants to have at least 60 smiley face stickers in the jar, how many more of each sticker will she have to buy to keep the current ratio of smiley face stickers to star stickers?
The amount of star stickers she would have to buy is 56. Total of 60.
ReplyDeleteThe amount of smile face stickers she would have to buy is 70. Total of 75.
She would need 56 more star stickers and 70 more of the smiley faced stickers ;-> ;-) }:/
