110=
610=
35Fraction of the pupils that liked hedgehogs

55 -
35=
25(b)
Difference between the fraction of the pupils that like cats and fraction of the pupils that like hedgehogs

12 -
25=
510 -
410=
110Total number of pupils = 10 u
Number of pupils that like cats more than hedgehogs = 1 u
1 u = 12
Total number of pupils
= 10 u
= 10 x 12
= 120
