320 35% =
35100 =
720 Number of green and red stickers
= 20 u - 3 u - 7 u
= 10 u
20 u = 180
1 u = 180 ÷ 20 = 9
Number of green and red stickers
= 10 u
= 10 x 9
= 90
10 u = 2 p + 10
2 p + 10 = 90
2 p = 90 - 10
2 p = 80
1 p = 80 ÷ 2 = 40
Number of red stickers
= 1 p
= 40
(b)
Number of more yellow stickers than blue stickers
= 7 u - 3 u
= 4 u
= 4 x 9
= 36
Answer(s): (a) 40; (b) 36
