(a)
Amount left after Adam spends on marbles and beads
= 1 -
19 -
23 = 1 -
19 -
69 =
29Make the numerators the same.
29 of the amount =
55 of the remaining amount
1045 of the amount =
1010 of the remaining amount
Amount that Adam spends on marbles =
19 =
545 Amount that Adam spends on beads =
23 =
3045 Amount that Adam spends on stickers
=
35 x 10 u
= 6 u
Amount that he has left
= 10 u - 6 u
= 4 u
4 u = 48
1 u = 48 ÷ 4 = 12
Amount that he spends on the marbles
= 5 u
= 5 x 12
= $60
(b)
Amount that he spends on the beads
= 30 u
= 30 x 12
= $360
(c)
Amount that he spends on the stickers
= 6 u
= 6 x 12
= $72
(d)
Amount that he spends altogether
= 60 + 360 + 72
= $492
Answer(s): (a) $60; (b) $360; (c) $72; (d) $492
