17 of his money on some beads.
He spends
15 of his remaining money on some stickers.
- Amount that Charlie spends on the beads = _____ u
- Amount that Charlie spends on the stickers = _____ u

- Difference in the amount spent on the stickers and beads = _____ u
(a)
Fraction of his money spent on the beads =
17 Fraction of his money left after spending on the beads
= 1 -
17=
67 Fraction of his money spent on the stickers

535635 =
635Amount that Charlie spends on the beads = 5 u
(b)
Amount that Charlie spends on the stickers = 6 u
(c)
Amount that Charlie has in the end
= 35 u - 6 u - 5 u
= 24 u
(d)
Difference in the amount spent on the stickers and beads
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
Answer(s): (a) 5; (b) 6; (c) 24; (d) 1
