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
27 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 =
1435 of his money
27 of his money =
1035 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the muffins = 14 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the marbles = 10 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 35 u - 10 u - 14 u
= 11 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the muffins and the marbles
= 14 u - 10 u
= 4 u
Answer(s): (a) 14; (b) 10; (c) 11 ; (d) 4
