Adam has 200 stickers.
He has 40 less blue stickers than green stickers.
He has 50 less red stickers than blue stickers.
How many less red stickers than green and blue stickers does Adam have?
Choose the smallest group to be 1 u.

Number of red stickers = 1 u
Number of blue stickers = 1 u + 50
Number of green stickers = 1 u + 50 + 40 = 1 u + 90

Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 1 u + 50 + 1 u + 90
= 3 u + 140

3 u + 140 = 200
3 u = 200 - 140
3 u = 60

1 u = 60 ÷ 3 = 20

Total number of green and blue stickers
= 1 u + 50 + 1 u + 90
= 2 u + 140

Number of less red stickers than green and blue stickers
= 2 u + 140 - 1 u
= 2 u - 1 u + 140
= 1 u + 140
= 20 + 140
= 160

Answer(s): 160
