Bryan has some money to buy some stickers.
If he buys 2 stickers, he will have $18 left.
If he buys 8 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
= 8 - 2
= 6
Difference in the amount to pay in both scenarios
= 18 - 12
= 6
Bryan needs $6 to buy 6 extra stickers.
Cost of 6 stickers = $6
Cost of 1 sticker = 6 ÷ 6 = $1
(b)
Amount that he has
= Cost of 2 stickers + 18
= 2 x 1 + 18
= 2 + 18
= $20
Answer(s): (a) $1; (b) $20
