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 muffins.
He spends
14 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.
25 of his money =
820 of his money
14 of his money =
520 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the muffins = 8 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the marbles = 5 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 20 u - 5 u - 8 u
= 7 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the muffins and the marbles
= 8 u - 5 u
= 3 u
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) 5; (c) 7 ; (d) 3
