Adam has enough money to buy 5 stickers at $18 each.
If he does not buy the stickers, he can buy 9 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
= 5 x 18
= $90
Cost of each bead
= 90 ÷ 9
= $10
(b)
Amount that a sticker costs more than a bead
= 18 - 10
= $8
Answer(s): (a) $10; (b) $8
