Bryan has some money to buy some stickers.
If he buys 10 stickers, he will have $24 left.
If he buys 14 stickers, he will have $12 left.
- How much does each sticker cost?
- How much money does he have?
(a)
Difference in the number of stickers in both scenarios
= 14 - 10
= 4
Difference in the amount to pay in both scenarios
= 24 - 12
= 12
Bryan needs $12 to buy 4 extra stickers.
Cost of 4 stickers = $12
Cost of 1 sticker = 12 ÷ 4 = $3
(b)
Amount that he has
= Cost of 10 stickers + 24
= 10 x 3 + 24
= 30 + 24
= $54
Answer(s): (a) $3; (b) $54
