Adam has some money to buy some stickers.
If he buys 4 stickers, he will have $24 left.
If he buys 6 stickers, he will have $14 left.
- How much does each sticker cost?
- How much money does he have?
(a)
Difference in the number of stickers in both scenarios
= 6 - 4
= 2
Difference in the amount to pay in both scenarios
= 24 - 14
= 10
Adam needs $10 to buy 2 extra stickers.
Cost of 2 stickers = $10
Cost of 1 sticker = 10 ÷ 2 = $5
(b)
Amount that he has
= Cost of 4 stickers + 24
= 4 x 5 + 24
= 20 + 24
= $44
Answer(s): (a) $5; (b) $44
