30100 =
310 Number of green and yellow stickers
= 10 u - 1 u - 3 u
= 6 u
10 u = 260
1 u = 260 ÷ 10 = 26
Number of green and yellow stickers
= 6 u
= 6 x 26
= 156
6 u = 2 p + 10
2 p + 10 = 156
2 p = 156 - 10
2 p = 146
1 p = 146 ÷ 2 = 73
Number of yellow stickers
= 1 p
= 73

Number of more red stickers than blue stickers
= 3 u - 1 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 26
= 52
Answer(s): (a) 73; (b) 52
