Adam spends $35 and buys some stickers and beads.
Each bead is $2 and each sticker is $3.
He buys 5 more stickers than beads.
- What is the cost of the 5 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 5 more stickers
= 5 x 3
= $15
(b)
Cost of 1 bead and 1 sticker
= 2 + 3
= $5
(c)
Cost of the stickers and beads (excluding the 5 extra stickers)
= 35 - 15
= $20
Number of sets of 1 bead and 1 sticker
= 20 ÷ 5
= 4
Number of stickers that Adam buys
= 4 + 5
= 9
Answer(s): (a) $15; (b) $5; (c) 9
