Charlie has some money to buy 8 stickers
but he buys only 6 stickers and has $12 left.
- How much does each sticker cost?
- How much money does he have?
(a)
Number of stickers that Charlie has not bought
= 8 - 6

Cost of 2 stickers = $12
Cost of 1 sticker = 12 ÷ 2 = $6
(b)
Amount that Charlie has
= Cost of 8 stickers
= 8 x 6
= $48
Answer(s): (a) $6; (b) $48
