Adam has enough money to buy 2 stickers at $15 each.
If he does not buy the stickers, he can buy 3 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
= 2 x 15
= $30
Cost of each bead
= 30 ÷ 3
= $10
(b)
Amount that a sticker costs more than a bead
= 15 - 10
= $5
Answer(s): (a) $10; (b) $5
