Adam spends $24 and buys some stickers and beads.
Each bead is $4 and each sticker is $5.
He buys 3 more stickers than beads.
- What is the cost of the 3 more stickers?
- What is the cost of 1 bead and 1 sticker?
- How many stickers does he buy?
(a)
Cost that Adam pays for the 3 more stickers
= 3 x 5
= $15
(b)
Cost of 1 bead and 1 sticker
= 4 + 5
= $9
(c)
Cost of the stickers and beads (excluding the 3 extra stickers)
= 24 - 15
= $9
Number of sets of 1 bead and 1 sticker
= 9 ÷ 9
= 1
Number of stickers that Adam buys
= 1 + 3
= 4
Answer(s): (a) $15; (b) $9; (c) 4
