Bryan has some money to buy some stickers.
If he buys 2 stickers, he will have $12 left.
If he buys 12 stickers, he will have $2 left.
- How much does each sticker cost?
- How much money does he have?
(a)
Difference in the number of stickers in both scenarios
= 12 - 2
= 10
Difference in the amount to pay in both scenarios
= 12 - 2
= 10
Bryan needs $10 to buy 10 extra stickers.
Cost of 10 stickers = $10
Cost of 1 sticker = 10 ÷ 10 = $1
(b)
Amount that he has
= Cost of 2 stickers + 12
= 2 x 1 + 12
= 2 + 12
= $14
Answer(s): (a) $1; (b) $14
