Adam spends $30 and buys some beads and stickers.
Each sticker is $3 and each bead is $4.
He buys 4 more beads than stickers.
- What is the cost of the 4 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 4 more beads
= 4 x 4
= $16
(b)
Cost of 1 sticker and 1 bead
= 3 + 4
= $7
(c)
Cost of the beads and stickers (excluding the 4 extra beads)
= 30 - 16
= $14
Number of sets of 1 sticker and 1 bead
= 14 ÷ 7
= 2
Number of beads that Adam buys
= 2 + 4
= 6
Answer(s): (a) $16; (b) $7; (c) 6
