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

518Amount that Charlie spends on the marbles = 3 u
(b)
Amount that Charlie spends on the stickers = 5 u
(c)
Amount that Charlie has in the end
= 18 u - 5 u - 3 u
= 10 u
(d)
Difference in the amount spent on the stickers and marbles
= 5 u - 3 u
= 2 u
Answer(s): (a) 3; (b) 5; (c) 10; (d) 2
