Adam spends $39 and buys some beads and stickers.
Each sticker is $2 and each bead is $5.
He buys 5 more beads than stickers.
- What is the cost of the 5 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 5 more beads
= 5 x 5
= $25
(b)
Cost of 1 sticker and 1 bead
= 2 + 5
= $7
(c)
Cost of the beads and stickers (excluding the 5 extra beads)
= 39 - 25
= $14
Number of sets of 1 sticker and 1 bead
= 14 ÷ 7
= 2
Number of beads that Adam buys
= 2 + 5
= 7
Answer(s): (a) $25; (b) $7; (c) 7
