(a)
Amount left after Adam spends on beads and marbles
= 1 -
110 -
35 = 1 -
110 -
610 =
310Make the numerators the same.
310 of the amount =
44 of the remaining amount
1240 of the amount =
1212 of the remaining amount
Amount that Adam spends on beads =
110 =
440 Amount that Adam spends on marbles =
35 =
2440 Amount that Adam spends on stickers
=
34 x 12 u
= 9 u
Amount that he has left
= 12 u - 9 u
= 3 u
3 u = 42
1 u = 42 ÷ 3 = 14
Amount that he spends on the beads
= 4 u
= 4 x 14
= $56
(b)
Amount that he spends on the marbles
= 24 u
= 24 x 14
= $336
(c)
Amount that he spends on the stickers
= 9 u
= 9 x 14
= $126
(d)
Amount that he spends altogether
= 56 + 336 + 126
= $518
Answer(s): (a) $56; (b) $336; (c) $126; (d) $518
