He spends
37 of his remaining money on some marbles.
- Amount that Bryan spends on the beads = _____ u
- Amount that Bryan spends on the marbles = _____ u

17 =
7491849 =
1849Amount that Bryan spends on the beads = 7 u
(b)
Amount that Bryan spends on the marbles = 18 u
(c)
Amount that Bryan has in the end
= 49 u - 18 u - 7 u
= 24 u
(d)
Difference in the amount spent on the marbles and beads
= 18 u - 7 u
= 11 u
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 18; (c) 24; (d) 11
