Adam has enough money to buy 3 beads at $12 each.
If he does not buy the beads, he can buy 9 stickers with the same amount of money.
- How much does each sticker cost?
- How much more is a bead than a sticker?
(a)
Amount that Adam has
= 3 x 12

Cost of each sticker

= $4
(b)
Amount that a bead costs more than a sticker
= 12 - 4
= $8
Answer(s): (a) $4; (b) $8
