Adam spends $47 and buys some beads and stickers.
Each sticker is $4 and each bead is $3.
He buys 4 more beads than stickers.
- What is the cost of the 4 more beads?
- What is the cost of 1 sticker and 1 bead?
- How many beads does he buy?
(a)
Cost that Adam pays for the 4 more beads
= 4 x 3
= $12
(b)
Cost of 1 sticker and 1 bead
= 4 + 3
= $7
(c)
Cost of the beads and stickers (excluding the 4 extra beads)
= 47 - 12
= $35
Number of sets of 1 sticker and 1 bead
= 35 ÷ 7
= 5
Number of beads that Adam buys
= 5 + 4
= 9
Answer(s): (a) $12; (b) $7; (c) 9
