Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Adam has some money.
Adam spends
34 of his money on some cupcakes.
He spends
29 of his money on some beads.
- Amount that Adam spends on the cupcakes = _____ u
- Amount that Adam spends on the beads = _____ u
- Amount that Adam has in the end = _____ u
- Difference in the amounts that he spends on the cupcakes and the beads = _____ u
(a)
Make the denominators the same.
34 of his money =
2736 of his money
29 of his money =
836 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the cupcakes = 27 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the beads = 8 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 36 u - 8 u - 27 u
= 1 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the cupcakes and the beads
= 27 u - 8 u
= 19 u
Answer(s): (a) 27; (b) 8; (c) 1 ; (d) 19
