Adam has 90 more blue stickers than green stickers.
Adam has 10 times as many blue stickers as green stickers.
- Number of blue stickers
- Number of green stickers
- Total number of stickers
- Number of less green stickers than blue stickers
(a)
The number of blue stickers is 10 times the number of green stickers.
The number of green stickers is the smaller group.
Number of green stickers = 1 u
Number of blue stickers = 10 u
Number of more blue stickers than green stickers = 10 u - 1 u = 9 u
9 u = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 9 = 10
Number of blue stickers
= 10 u
= 10 x 10
= 100
(b)
Number of green stickers
= 1 u
= 10
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 10 u + 1 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 10
= 110
(d)
Number of less green stickers than blue stickers
= 10 u - 1 u
= 9 u
= 9 x 10
= 90
Answer(s): (a) 100; (b) 10; (c) 110; (d) 90
