30100 =
310 Number of yellow and red stickers
= 10 u - 1 u - 3 u
= 6 u
10 u = 290
1 u = 290 ÷ 10 = 29
Number of yellow and red stickers
= 6 u
= 6 x 29
= 174
6 u = 2 p + 10
2 p + 10 = 174
2 p = 174 - 10
2 p = 164
1 p = 164 ÷ 2 = 82
Number of red stickers
= 1 p
= 82

Number of more green stickers than blue stickers
= 3 u - 1 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 29
= 58
Answer(s): (a) 82; (b) 58
