Adam has enough money to buy 2 marbles at $12 each.
If he does not buy the marbles, he can buy 6 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 12
= $24
Cost of each bead
= 24 ÷ 6
= $4
(b)
Amount that a marble costs more than a bead
= 12 - 4
= $8
Answer(s): (a) $4; (b) $8
