Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u +2).
Bryan spends
38 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 =
38 Fraction of his money left after spending on the beads
= 1 -
38=
58 Fraction of his money spent on the marbles
=

1532Make the denominators the same.
38 =
12321532 =
1532Amount that Bryan spends on the beads = 12 u
(b)
Amount that Bryan spends on the marbles = 15 u
(c)
Amount that Bryan has in the end
= 32 u - 15 u - 12 u
= 5 u
(d)
Difference in the amount spent on the marbles and beads
= 15 u - 12 u
= 3 u
Answer(s): (a) 12; (b) 15; (c) 5; (d) 3
