He spends
38 of his remaining money on some beads.
- Amount that Charlie spends on the marbles = _____ u
- Amount that Charlie spends on the beads = _____ u
- Amount that Charlie 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 =
211 Fraction of his money left after spending on the marbles
= 1 -

16882788 =
2788Amount that Charlie spends on the marbles = 16 u
(b)
Amount that Charlie spends on the beads = 27 u
(c)
Amount that Charlie has in the end
= 88 u - 27 u - 16 u
= 45 u
(d)
Difference in the amount spent on the beads and marbles
= 27 u - 16 u
= 11 u
Answer(s): (a) 16; (b) 27; (c) 45; (d) 11
