Adam spends $46 and buys some stickers and beads.
Each bead is $2 and each sticker is $5.
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 5
= $25
(b)
Cost of 1 bead and 1 sticker
= 2 + 5
= $7
(c)
Cost of the stickers and beads (excluding the 5 extra stickers)
= 46 - 25
= $21
Number of sets of 1 bead and 1 sticker
= 21 ÷ 7
= 3
Number of stickers that Adam buys
= 3 + 5
= 8
Answer(s): (a) $25; (b) $7; (c) 8
