Adam spends $45 and buys some stickers and beads.
Each bead is $3 and each sticker is $2.
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 2
= $10
(b)
Cost of 1 bead and 1 sticker
= 3 + 2
= $5
(c)
Cost of the stickers and beads (excluding the 5 extra stickers)
= 45 - 10
= $35
Number of sets of 1 bead and 1 sticker
= 35 ÷ 5
= 7
Number of stickers that Adam buys
= 7 + 5
= 12
Answer(s): (a) $10; (b) $5; (c) 12
