Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Adam has some money.
Adam spends
35 of his money on some muffins.
He spends
17 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.
35 of his money =
2135 of his money
17 of his money =
535 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the muffins = 21 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the marbles = 5 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 35 u - 5 u - 21 u
= 9 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the muffins and the marbles
= 21 u - 5 u
= 16 u
Answer(s): (a) 21; (b) 5; (c) 9 ; (d) 16
