Give the answers in units (Eg 1 u) or unit equations (Eg 1 u +2).
Adam spends
27 of his money on some stickers.
He spends
12 of his remaining money on some beads.
- Amount that Adam spends on the stickers = _____ u
- Amount that Adam spends on the beads = _____ u
- Amount that Adam has in the end = _____ u
- Difference in the amount spent on the beads and stickers = _____ u
(a)
Fraction of his money spent on the stickers =
27 Fraction of his money left after spending on the stickers
= 1 -
27=
57 Fraction of his money spent on the beads
=

514Make the denominators the same.
27 =
414514 =
514Amount that Adam spends on the stickers = 4 u
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on the beads = 5 u
(c)
Amount that Adam has in the end
= 14 u - 5 u - 4 u
= 5 u
(d)
Difference in the amount spent on the beads and stickers
= 5 u - 4 u
= 1 u
Answer(s): (a) 4; (b) 5; (c) 5; (d) 1
