Adam spends $43 and buys some beads and stickers.
Each sticker is $3 and each bead is $4.
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 4
= $8
(b)
Cost of 1 sticker and 1 bead
= 3 + 4
= $7
(c)
Cost of the beads and stickers (excluding the 2 extra beads)
= 43 - 8
= $35
Number of sets of 1 sticker and 1 bead
= 35 ÷ 7
= 5
Number of beads that Adam buys
= 5 + 2
= 7
Answer(s): (a) $8; (b) $7; (c) 7
