Adam spends $38 and buys some beads and stickers.
Each sticker is $4 and each bead is $2.
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 2
= $8
(b)
Cost of 1 sticker and 1 bead
= 4 + 2
= $6
(c)
Cost of the beads and stickers (excluding the 4 extra beads)
= 38 - 8
= $30
Number of sets of 1 sticker and 1 bead
= 30 ÷ 6
= 5
Number of beads that Adam buys
= 5 + 4
= 9
Answer(s): (a) $8; (b) $6; (c) 9
