Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u +2).
Bryan spends
514 of his money on some beads.
He spends
34 of his remaining money on some marbles.
- Amount that Bryan spends on the beads = _____ u
- Amount that Bryan spends on the marbles = _____ u
- Amount that Bryan has in the end = _____ u
- Difference in the amount spent on the marbles and beads = _____ u
(a)
Fraction of his money spent on the beads =
514 Fraction of his money left after spending on the beads
= 1 -
514=
914 Fraction of his money spent on the marbles
=
914 x

2756Make the denominators the same.
514 =
20562756 =
2756Amount that Bryan spends on the beads = 20 u
(b)
Amount that Bryan spends on the marbles = 27 u
(c)
Amount that Bryan has in the end
= 56 u - 27 u - 20 u
= 9 u
(d)
Difference in the amount spent on the marbles and beads
= 27 u - 20 u
= 7 u
Answer(s): (a) 20; (b) 27; (c) 9; (d) 7
