120 35% =
35100 =
720 Number of red and blue stickers
= 20 u - 1 u - 7 u
= 12 u
20 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 20 = 6
Number of red and blue stickers
= 12 u
= 12 x 6
= 72
12 u = 2 p + 10
2 p + 10 = 72
2 p = 72 - 10
2 p = 62
1 p = 62 ÷ 2 = 31
Number of blue stickers
= 1 p
= 31
(b)
Number of less yellow stickers than green stickers
= 7 u - 1 u
= 6 u
= 6 x 6
= 36
Answer(s): (a) 31; (b) 36
