Bryan has some money to buy some stickers.
If he buys 8 stickers, he will have $28 left.
If he buys 15 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
= 15 - 8
= 7
Difference in the amount to pay in both scenarios
= 28 - 14
= 14
Bryan needs $14 to buy 7 extra stickers.
Cost of 7 stickers = $14
Cost of 1 sticker = 14 ÷ 7 = $2
(b)
Amount that he has
= Cost of 8 stickers + 28
= 8 x 2 + 28
= 16 + 28
= $44
Answer(s): (a) $2; (b) $44
