Adam has enough money to buy 4 marbles at $15 each.
If he does not buy the marbles, he can buy 6 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 15
= $60
Cost of each bead
= 60 ÷ 6
= $10
(b)
Amount that a marble costs more than a bead
= 15 - 10
= $5
Answer(s): (a) $10; (b) $5
