Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Adam has some money.
Adam spends
23 of his money on some buns.
He spends
17 of his money on some stickers.
- Amount that Adam spends on the buns = _____ 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 buns and the stickers = _____ u
(a)
Make the denominators the same.
23 of his money =
1421 of his money
17 of his money =
321 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the buns = 14 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the stickers = 3 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 21 u - 3 u - 14 u
= 4 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the buns and the stickers
= 14 u - 3 u
= 11 u
Answer(s): (a) 14; (b) 3; (c) 4 ; (d) 11
