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 cupcakes.
He spends
19 of his money on some marbles.
- Amount that Adam spends on the cupcakes = _____ 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 cupcakes and the marbles = _____ u
(a)
Make the denominators the same.
35 of his money =
2745 of his money
19 of his money =
545 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the cupcakes = 27 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the marbles = 5 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 45 u - 5 u - 27 u
= 13 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the cupcakes and the marbles
= 27 u - 5 u
= 22 u
Answer(s): (a) 27; (b) 5; (c) 13 ; (d) 22
