Adam has some money to buy some stickers.
If he buys 6 stickers, he will have $13 left.
If he buys 14 stickers, he will need $3 more.
- How much does each sticker cost?
- How much money does he have?
(a)
Difference in the number of stickers in both scenarios
= 14 - 6
= 8
To buy 8 stickers, he needs to use $13 that is left and get an extra of $3.
Difference in the amount to pay in both scenarios
= 13 + 3
= $16
Adam needs $16 to buy 8 extra stickers .
Cost of 8 stickers = $16
Cost of 1 sticker = 16 ÷ 8 = $2
(b)
Amount that he has
= Cost of 6 stickers + 13
= 6 x 2 + 13
= 12 + 13
= $25
Answer(s): (a) $2; (b) $25
