Adam has enough money to buy 2 beads at $8 each.
If he does not buy the beads, he can buy 8 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
= 2 x 8
= $16
Cost of each marble
= 16 ÷ 8
= $2
(b)
Amount that a bead costs more than a marble
= 8 - 2
= $6
Answer(s): (a) $2; (b) $6
