Adam has enough money to buy 3 stickers at $12 each.
If he does not buy the stickers, he can buy 4 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
= 3 x 12
= $36
Cost of each bead
= 36 ÷ 4
= $9
(b)
Amount that a sticker costs more than a bead
= 12 - 9
= $3
Answer(s): (a) $9; (b) $3
