(a)
Amount left after Adam spends on stickers and marbles
= 1 -
116 -
38 = 1 -
116 -
616 =
916Make the numerators the same.
916 of the amount =
44 of the remaining amount
3664 of the amount =
3636 of the remaining amount
Amount that Adam spends on stickers =
116 =
464 Amount that Adam spends on marbles =
38 =
2464 Amount that Adam spends on beads
=
34 x 36 u
= 27 u
Amount that he has left
= 36 u - 27 u
= 9 u
9 u = 36
1 u = 36 ÷ 9 = 4
Amount that he spends on the stickers
= 4 u
= 4 x 4
= $16
(b)
Amount that he spends on the marbles
= 24 u
= 24 x 4
= $96
(c)
Amount that he spends on the beads
= 27 u
= 27 x 4
= $108
(d)
Amount that he spends altogether
= 16 + 96 + 108
= $220
Answer(s): (a) $16; (b) $96; (c) $108; (d) $220
