Answer

\text{9 packs}

4 steps

Identify the total amount of money Tom has.
Tom has R48.00.
Identify the cost of one pack of cards.
One pack of cards costs R5.00.
Divide the total money by the cost per pack to find out how many packs Tom can buy.
$\text{Number of packs} = \frac{\text{Total money}}{\text{Cost per pack}}$ $\text{Number of packs} = \frac{\text{R}48.00}{\text{R}5.00}$ $\text{Number of packs} = 9.6$
Since Tom cannot buy a fraction of a pack, he can only buy the whole number of packs.
Determine the whole number of packs Tom can buy.
Tom can buy 9 full packs of cards. He will have some money left over, but not enough for another full pack.

Tom can buy $\text{9 packs}$ .
