Adam has enough money to buy 4 marbles at $14 each.
If he does not buy the marbles, he can buy 7 beads with the same amount of money.
- How much does each bead cost?
- How much more is a marble than a bead?
(a)
Amount that Adam has
= 4 x 14
= $56
Cost of each bead
= 56 ÷ 7
= $8
(b)
Amount that a marble costs more than a bead
= 14 - 8
= $6
Answer(s): (a) $8; (b) $6
