Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Adam has some money.
Adam spends
12 of his money on some cupcakes.
He spends
14 of his money on some stickers.
- Amount that Adam spends on the cupcakes = _____ u
- Amount that Adam spends on the stickers = _____ u
- Amount that Adam has in the end = _____ u
- Difference in the amounts that he spends on the cupcakes and the stickers = _____ u
(a)
Make the denominators the same.
12 of his money =
24 of his money
14 of his money =
14 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the cupcakes = 2 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the stickers = 1 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 4 u - 1 u - 2 u
= 1 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the cupcakes and the stickers
= 2 u - 1 u
= 1 u
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 1; (c) 1 ; (d) 1
