Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Adam has some money.
Adam spends
34 of his money on some muffins.
He spends
15 of his money on some marbles.
- Amount that Adam spends on the muffins = _____ 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 muffins and the marbles = _____ u
(a)
Make the denominators the same.
34 of his money =
1520 of his money
15 of his money =
420 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the muffins = 15 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the marbles = 4 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 20 u - 4 u - 15 u
= 1 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the muffins and the marbles
= 15 u - 4 u
= 11 u
Answer(s): (a) 15; (b) 4; (c) 1 ; (d) 11
