Bryan has some money to buy some stickers.
If he buys 2 stickers, he will have $10 left.
If he buys 5 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
= 5 - 2
= 3
Difference in the amount to pay in both scenarios
= 10 - 4
= 6
Bryan needs $6 to buy 3 extra stickers.
Cost of 3 stickers = $6
Cost of 1 sticker = 6 ÷ 3 = $2
(b)
Amount that he has
= Cost of 2 stickers + 10
= 2 x 2 + 10
= 4 + 10
= $14
Answer(s): (a) $2; (b) $14
