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