100 is the least number of sheets of each type he might buy given that reptile stickers come in sheets of 10 and fish stickers come in sheets of 25 and Antonio buys the same number of both types of stickers and he buys at least 100 of each type. This can be obtained by finding LCM(Least Common Multiple) of 10 and 25 and identifying the multiple nearest to 100.
What is the least number of sheets of each type he might buy?
Here in the question it is given that,
- Reptile stickers come in sheets of 10
- Fish stickers come in sheets of 25
- Antonio buys the same number of both types of stickers
- He buys at least 100 of each type
We have to find the least number of sheets of each type he might buy.
First we have to find the LCM(Least Common Multiple) of 10 and 25
10 = 2 × 5
25 = 5 × 5
LCM(10,25) = 2 × 5 = 50
But he buys at least 100 of each type, then we recall the multiples of 18 to find the least number which is nearest to 100.
Multiples of 50 = 50, 100, 150,...
The number nearest to 100 is 100 itself.
Hence 100 is the least number of sheets of each type he might buy given that reptile stickers come in sheets of 10 and fish stickers come in sheets of 25 and Antonio buys the same number of both types of stickers and he buys at least 100 of each type.
