Adam has enough money to buy 2 marbles at $6 each.
If he does not buy the marbles, he can buy 3 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
= 2 x 6

Cost of each bead

Amount that a marble costs more than a bead
= 6 - 4
= $2
Answer(s): (a) $4; (b) $2
