Adam has enough money to buy 8 beads at $5 each.
If he does not buy the beads, he can buy 10 marbles with the same amount of money.
- How much does each marble cost?
- How much more is a bead than a marble?
(a)
Amount that Adam has
= 8 x 5
= $40
Cost of each marble

Amount that a bead costs more than a marble
= 5 - 4
= $1
Answer(s): (a) $4; (b) $1
