Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u +2).
Adam spends
15 of his money on some beads.
He spends
37 of his remaining money on some stickers.
- Amount that Adam spends on the beads = _____ u
- Amount that Adam spends on the stickers = _____ u
- Amount that Adam has in the end = _____ u
- Difference in the amount spent on the stickers and beads = _____ u
(a)
Fraction of his money spent on the beads =
15 Fraction of his money left after spending on the beads
= 1 -
15=
45 Fraction of his money spent on the stickers
=
45 x
37=
1235Make the denominators the same.
15 =
7351235 =
1235Amount that Adam spends on the beads = 7 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the stickers = 12 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 35 u - 12 u - 7 u
= 16 u
(d)
Difference in the amount spent on the stickers and beads
= 12 u - 7 u
= 5 u
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 12; (c) 16; (d) 5
