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
38 of his money on some stickers.
- Amount that Adam spends on the muffins = _____ 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 muffins and the stickers = _____ u
(a)
Make the denominators the same.
25 of his money =
1640 of his money
38 of his money =
1540 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the muffins = 16 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the stickers = 15 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 40 u - 15 u - 16 u
= 9 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the muffins and the stickers
= 16 u - 15 u
= 1 u
Answer(s): (a) 16; (b) 15; (c) 9 ; (d) 1
