Adam spends $41 and buys some beads and stickers.
Each sticker is $3 and each bead is $2.
He buys 3 more beads than stickers.
- What is the cost of the 3 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 3 more beads
= 3 x 2
= $6
(b)
Cost of 1 sticker and 1 bead
= 3 + 2
= $5
(c)
Cost of the beads and stickers (excluding the 3 extra beads)
= 41 - 6
= $35
Number of sets of 1 sticker and 1 bead
= 35 ÷ 5
= 7
Number of beads that Adam buys
= 7 + 3
= 10
Answer(s): (a) $6; (b) $5; (c) 10
