Adam spends $33 and buys some beads and stickers.
Each sticker is $5 and each bead is $3.
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 3
= $9
(b)
Cost of 1 sticker and 1 bead
= 5 + 3
= $8
(c)
Cost of the beads and stickers (excluding the 3 extra beads)
= 33 - 9
= $24
Number of sets of 1 sticker and 1 bead
= 24 ÷ 8
= 3
Number of beads that Adam buys
= 3 + 3
= 6
Answer(s): (a) $9; (b) $8; (c) 6
