Adam spends $34 and buys some stickers and marbles.
Each marble is $4 and each sticker is $2.
He buys 5 more stickers than marbles.
- What is the cost of the 5 more stickers?
- What is the cost of 1 marble 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 marble and 1 sticker
= 4 + 2
= $6
(c)
Cost of the stickers and marbles (excluding the 5 extra stickers)
= 34 - 10
= $24
Number of sets of 1 marble and 1 sticker
= 24 ÷ 6
= 4
Number of stickers that Adam buys
= 4 + 5
= 9
Answer(s): (a) $10; (b) $6; (c) 9
