Adam spends $48 and buys some stickers and beads.
Each bead is $2 and each sticker is $4.
He buys 3 more stickers than beads.
- What is the cost of the 3 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 3 more stickers
= 3 x 4
= $12
(b)
Cost of 1 bead and 1 sticker
= 2 + 4
= $6
(c)
Cost of the stickers and beads (excluding the 3 extra stickers)
= 48 - 12
= $36
Number of sets of 1 bead and 1 sticker
= 36 ÷ 6
= 6
Number of stickers that Adam buys
= 6 + 3
= 9
Answer(s): (a) $12; (b) $6; (c) 9
