Adam has 40 more green stickers than red stickers.
Adam has 5 times as many green stickers as red stickers.
- Number of green stickers
- Number of red stickers
- Total number of stickers
- Number of less red stickers than green stickers
(a)
The number of green stickers is 5 times the number of red stickers.
The number of red stickers is the smaller group.
Number of red stickers = 1 u
Number of green stickers = 5 u
Number of more green stickers than red stickers = 5 u - 1 u = 4 u
4 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 4 = 10
Number of green stickers
= 5 u
= 5 x 10
= 50
(b)
Number of red stickers
= 1 u
= 10
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 5 u + 1 u
= 6 u
= 6 x 10
= 60
(d)
Number of less red stickers than green stickers
= 5 u - 1 u
= 4 u
= 4 x 10
= 40
Answer(s): (a) 50; (b) 10; (c) 60; (d) 40
