Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u +2).
Bryan spends
215 of his money on some marbles.
He spends
14 of his remaining money on some beads.
- Amount that Bryan spends on the marbles = _____ u
- Amount that Bryan spends on the beads = _____ u
- Amount that Bryan has in the end = _____ u
- Difference in the amount spent on the beads and marbles = _____ u
(a)
Fraction of his money spent on the marbles =
215 Fraction of his money left after spending on the marbles
= 1 -
215=
1315 Fraction of his money spent on the beads
=

8601360 =
1360Amount that Bryan spends on the marbles = 8 u
(b)
Amount that Bryan spends on the beads = 13 u
(c)
Amount that Bryan has in the end
= 60 u - 13 u - 8 u
= 39 u
(d)
Difference in the amount spent on the beads and marbles
= 13 u - 8 u
= 5 u
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) 13; (c) 39; (d) 5
