He spends
13 of his remaining money on some stickers.
- Amount that Charlie spends on the beads = _____ u
- Amount that Charlie spends on the stickers = _____ u

- Difference in the amount spent on the stickers and beads = _____ u
(a)
Fraction of his money spent on the beads =
29 Fraction of his money left after spending on the beads
= 1 -
29=
79 Fraction of his money spent on the stickers

627727 =
727Amount that Charlie spends on the beads = 6 u
(b)
Amount that Charlie spends on the stickers = 7 u
(c)
Amount that Charlie has in the end
= 27 u - 7 u - 6 u
= 14 u
(d)
Difference in the amount spent on the stickers and beads
= 7 u - 6 u
= 1 u
Answer(s): (a) 6; (b) 7; (c) 14; (d) 1
