Bryan has some money to buy some stickers.
If he buys 4 stickers, he will have $25 left.
If he buys 6 stickers, he will have $11 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
= 25 - 11
= 14
Bryan needs $14 to buy 2 extra stickers.
Cost of 2 stickers = $14
Cost of 1 sticker = 14 ÷ 2 = $7
(b)
Amount that he has
= Cost of 4 stickers + 25
= 4 x 7 + 25
= 28 + 25
= $53
Answer(s): (a) $7; (b) $53
