Adam has enough money to buy 2 stickers at $20 each.
If he does not buy the stickers, he can buy 8 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 20
= $40
Cost of each bead
= 40 ÷ 8
= $5
(b)
Amount that a sticker costs more than a bead
= 20 - 5
= $15
Answer(s): (a) $5; (b) $15
