16 of his money on some stickers.
He spends
12 of his remaining money on some beads.
- Amount that Charlie spends on the stickers = _____ u
- Amount that Charlie spends on the beads = _____ u

- Difference in the amount spent on the beads and stickers = _____ u
(a)
Fraction of his money spent on the stickers =
16 Fraction of his money left after spending on the stickers
= 1 -
16=
56 Fraction of his money spent on the beads

212512 =
512Amount that Charlie spends on the stickers = 2 u
(b)
Amount that Charlie spends on the beads = 5 u
(c)
Amount that Charlie has in the end
= 12 u - 5 u - 2 u
= 5 u
(d)
Difference in the amount spent on the beads and stickers
= 5 u - 2 u
= 3 u
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 5; (c) 5; (d) 3
