120 35% =
35100 =
720 Number of blue and green stickers
= 20 u - 1 u - 7 u
= 12 u
20 u = 200
1 u = 200 ÷ 20 = 10
Number of blue and green stickers
= 12 u
= 12 x 10
= 120
12 u = 2 p + 10
2 p + 10 = 120
2 p = 120 - 10
2 p = 110
1 p = 110 ÷ 2 = 55
Number of green stickers
= 1 p
= 55
(b)
Number of less red stickers than yellow stickers
= 7 u - 1 u
= 6 u
= 6 x 10
= 60
Answer(s): (a) 55; (b) 60
