He spends
27 of his remaining money on some stickers.
- Amount that Charlie spends on the marbles = _____ 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 marbles = _____ u
(a)
Fraction of his money spent on the marbles =
213 Fraction of his money left after spending on the marbles
= 1 -
213=
1113 Fraction of his money spent on the stickers
=

14912291 =
2291Amount that Charlie spends on the marbles = 14 u
(b)
Amount that Charlie spends on the stickers = 22 u
(c)
Amount that Charlie has in the end
= 91 u - 22 u - 14 u
= 55 u
(d)
Difference in the amount spent on the stickers and marbles
= 22 u - 14 u
= 8 u
Answer(s): (a) 14; (b) 22; (c) 55; (d) 8
