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
18 of his money on some beads.
- Amount that Adam spends on the cupcakes = _____ u
- Amount that Adam spends on the beads = _____ u
- Amount that Adam has in the end = _____ u
- Difference in the amounts that he spends on the cupcakes and the beads = _____ u
(a)
Make the denominators the same.
25 of his money =
1640 of his money
18 of his money =
540 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the cupcakes = 16 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the beads = 5 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 40 u - 5 u - 16 u
= 19 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the cupcakes and the beads
= 16 u - 5 u
= 11 u
Answer(s): (a) 16; (b) 5; (c) 19 ; (d) 11
