Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u +2).
Charlie spends
415 of his money on some beads.
He spends
12 of his remaining money on some stickers.
- Amount that Charlie spends on the beads = _____ u
- Amount that Charlie spends on the stickers = _____ u
- Amount that Charlie 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 =
415 Fraction of his money left after spending on the beads
= 1 -
415=
1115 Fraction of his money spent on the stickers
=
1115 x
12=
1130Make the denominators the same.
415 =
8301130 =
1130Amount that Charlie spends on the beads = 8 u
(b)
Amount that Charlie spends on the stickers = 11 u
(c)
Amount that Charlie has in the end
= 30 u - 11 u - 8 u
= 11 u
(d)
Difference in the amount spent on the stickers and beads
= 11 u - 8 u
= 3 u
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) 11; (c) 11; (d) 3
