- Amount that Andrew has at first = _____ u
(a)
Change X times into units.
Cost of 1 sticker = 1 u
Cost of 1 pen = 4 x 1 u = 4 u
(b)

= 5 u + 8 u
= 13 u
(c)
Fraction of the money he has left

15 =
45 15 of his money = 13 u
45 of his money = 4 x 13 u = 52 u
Amount that Andrew has left = 52 u
(d)
Amount that Andrew has at first

= 65 u
