Adam spends $28 and buys some beads and stickers.
Each sticker is $4 and each bead is $2.
He buys 2 more beads than stickers.
- What is the cost of the 2 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 2 more beads
= 2 x 2
= $4
(b)
Cost of 1 sticker and 1 bead
= 4 + 2
= $6
(c)
Cost of the beads and stickers (excluding the 2 extra beads)
= 28 - 4
= $24
Number of sets of 1 sticker and 1 bead
= 24 ÷ 6
= 4
Number of beads that Adam buys
= 4 + 2
= 6
Answer(s): (a) $4; (b) $6; (c) 6
