Bryan has some money to buy some stickers.
If he buys 2 stickers, he will have $12 left.
If he buys 6 stickers, he will have $4 left.
- How much does each sticker cost?
- How much money does he have?
(a)
Difference in the number of stickers in both scenarios
= 6 - 2
= 4
Difference in the amount to pay in both scenarios
= 12 - 4
= 8
Bryan needs $8 to buy 4 extra stickers.
Cost of 4 stickers = $8
Cost of 1 sticker = 8 ÷ 4 = $2
(b)
Amount that he has
= Cost of 2 stickers + 12
= 2 x 2 + 12
= 4 + 12
= $16
Answer(s): (a) $2; (b) $16
