Learn with an example

A football team has $74 to spend on hats for their fans. Each hat costs $7. How many hats can the team buy?

hats

Divide the amount of money by the cost of each hat.

– 7

– 0

Now think about the remainder. The answer is either 10 or 11.

Multiply:

$7 × 10 = $70

$7 × 11 = $77

10 hats ($70) is correct. 11 hats ($77) is too expensive. The team can buy 10 hats.
