Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Adam has some money.
Adam spends
25 of his money on some cupcakes.
He spends
29 of his money on some marbles.
- Amount that Adam spends on the cupcakes = _____ u
- Amount that Adam spends on the marbles = _____ u
- Amount that Adam has in the end = _____ u
- Difference in the amounts that he spends on the cupcakes and the marbles = _____ u
(a)
Make the denominators the same.
25 of his money =
1845 of his money
29 of his money =
1045 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the cupcakes = 18 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the marbles = 10 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 45 u - 10 u - 18 u
= 17 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the cupcakes and the marbles
= 18 u - 10 u
= 8 u
Answer(s): (a) 18; (b) 10; (c) 17 ; (d) 8
