118 -
418 =
1318Make the numerators the same.

33 of the remaining amount
3954 of the amount =
3939 of the remaining amount

1254 Amount that Adam spends on stickers
=
23 x 39 u
= 26 u
Amount that he has left
= 39 u - 26 u
= 13 u
13 u = 39
1 u = 39 ÷ 13 = 3
Amount that he spends on the beads
= 3 u
= 3 x 3
= $9

(d)
Amount that he spends altogether
= 9 + 36 + 78
= $123
Answer(s): (a) $9; (b) $36; (c) $78; (d) $123
