211 of his money on some marbles.
He spends
37 of his remaining money on some beads.
- Amount that Bryan spends on the marbles = _____ u
- Amount that Bryan spends on the beads = _____ u

- Difference in the amount spent on the beads and marbles = _____ u
(a)
Fraction of his money spent on the marbles =
211 Fraction of his money left after spending on the marbles
= 1 -
211=
911 Fraction of his money spent on the beads
=

14772777 =
2777Amount that Bryan spends on the marbles = 14 u
(b)
Amount that Bryan spends on the beads = 27 u
(c)
Amount that Bryan has in the end
= 77 u - 27 u - 14 u
= 36 u
(d)
Difference in the amount spent on the beads and marbles
= 27 u - 14 u
= 13 u
Answer(s): (a) 14; (b) 27; (c) 36; (d) 13
