Adam has enough money to buy 3 beads at $15 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

Cost of each sticker

(b)
Amount that a bead costs more than a sticker
= 15 - 5
= $10
Answer(s): (a) $5; (b) $10
