Adam has enough money to buy 6 stickers at $12 each.
If he does not buy the stickers, he can buy 9 beads with the same amount of money.
- How much does each bead cost?
- How much more is a sticker than a bead?
(a)
Amount that Adam has
= 6 x 12
= $72
Cost of each bead
= 72 ÷ 9
= $8
(b)
Amount that a sticker costs more than a bead
= 12 - 8
= $4
Answer(s): (a) $8; (b) $4
