Question : 24

Total: 40

Solution:

Concept:

Divide the total money by the cost of one card after converting pesewas to cedis.

Explanation:

100

pesewas

= \mathrm{GH₵}1.00

Therefore,

15

pesewas

= \mathrm{GH₵}\frac{15}{100} = \mathrm{GH₵}0.15

Number of cards

= \dfrac{\text{Total amount}}{\text{Cost per card}}

Number of cards

= \dfrac{\mathrm{GH₵}18.00}{\mathrm{GH₵}0.15}
