34 of the remaining amount is the same as
57 of the total amount.
Amount that Adam has at first = 7 u
Amount that Adam spends on the stickers
= 6 u - 5 u
= 1 u
1 u = 260
Amount that Adam has at first
= 7 u
= 7 x 260
= $1820
(b)
Amount that Adam spends on marbles
= 5 u
= 5 x 260
= $1300
Amount that Adam spends more on marbles than on stickers
= 1300 - 260
= $1040
Answer(s): (a) $1820; (b) $1040
