(a)
Amount left after Adam spends on marbles and beads
= 1 -
115 -
25 = 1 -
115 -
615 =
815Make the numerators the same.
815 of the amount =
33 of the remaining amount
2445 of the amount =
2424 of the remaining amount
Amount that Adam spends on marbles =
115 =
345 Amount that Adam spends on beads =
25 =
1845 Amount that Adam spends on stickers
=
23 x 24 u
= 16 u
Amount that he has left
= 24 u - 16 u
= 8 u
8 u = 16
1 u = 16 ÷ 8 = 2
Amount that he spends on the marbles
= 3 u
= 3 x 2
= $6
(b)
Amount that he spends on the beads
= 18 u
= 18 x 2
= $36
(c)
Amount that he spends on the stickers
= 16 u
= 16 x 2
= $32
(d)
Amount that he spends altogether
= 6 + 36 + 32
= $74
Answer(s): (a) $6; (b) $36; (c) $32; (d) $74
