(a)
Amount left after Adam spends on beads and marbles
= 1 -
114 -
27 = 1 -
114 -
414 =
914Make the numerators the same.
914 of the amount =
55 of the remaining amount
4570 of the amount =
4545 of the remaining amount
Amount that Adam spends on beads =
114 =
570 Amount that Adam spends on marbles =
27 =
2070 Amount that Adam spends on stickers
=
35 x 45 u
= 27 u
Amount that he has left
= 45 u - 27 u
= 18 u
18 u = 36
1 u = 36 ÷ 18 = 2
Amount that he spends on the beads
= 5 u
= 5 x 2
= $10
(b)
Amount that he spends on the marbles
= 20 u
= 20 x 2
= $40
(c)
Amount that he spends on the stickers
= 27 u
= 27 x 2
= $54
(d)
Amount that he spends altogether
= 10 + 40 + 54
= $104
Answer(s): (a) $10; (b) $40; (c) $54; (d) $104
