Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u +2).
Charlie spends
15 of his money on some beads.
He spends
25 of his remaining money on some stickers.
- Amount that Charlie spends on the beads = _____ u
- Amount that Charlie spends on the stickers = _____ u
- Amount that Charlie has in the end = _____ u
- Difference in the amount spent on the stickers and beads = _____ u
(a)
Fraction of his money spent on the beads =
15 Fraction of his money left after spending on the beads
= 1 -
15=
45 Fraction of his money spent on the stickers
=

825Make the denominators the same.
15 =
525825 =
825Amount that Charlie spends on the beads = 5 u
(b)
Amount that Charlie spends on the stickers = 8 u
(c)
Amount that Charlie has in the end
= 25 u - 8 u - 5 u
= 12 u
(d)
Difference in the amount spent on the stickers and beads
= 8 u - 5 u
= 3 u
Answer(s): (a) 5; (b) 8; (c) 12; (d) 3
