Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u + 2).
Adam has some money.
Adam spends
14 of his money on some muffins.
He spends
19 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.
14 of his money =
936 of his money
19 of his money =
436 of his money
Amount that Adam spends on the muffins = 9 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the stickers = 4 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 36 u - 4 u - 9 u
= 23 u
(d)
Difference in the amounts that he spends on the muffins and the stickers
= 9 u - 4 u
= 5 u
Answer(s): (a) 9; (b) 4; (c) 23 ; (d) 5
