Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u +2).
Charlie spends
14 of his money on some stickers.
He spends
34 of his remaining money on some beads.
- Amount that Charlie spends on the stickers = _____ u
- Amount that Charlie spends on the beads = _____ u
- Amount that Charlie has in the end = _____ u
- Difference in the amount spent on the beads and stickers = _____ u
(a)
Fraction of his money spent on the stickers =
14 Fraction of his money left after spending on the stickers
= 1 -
14=
34 Fraction of his money spent on the beads
=

916Make the denominators the same.
14 =
416916 =
916Amount that Charlie spends on the stickers = 4 u
(b)
Amount that Charlie spends on the beads = 9 u
(c)
Amount that Charlie has in the end
= 16 u - 9 u - 4 u
= 3 u
(d)
Difference in the amount spent on the beads and stickers
= 9 u - 4 u
= 5 u
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) 9; (c) 3; (d) 5
