(a)
5% =

120 35% =
35100 =
720 Number of yellow and green stickers
= 20 u - 1 u - 7 u
= 12 u
20 u = 160
1 u = 160 ÷ 20 = 8
Number of yellow and green stickers
= 12 u
= 12 x 8
= 96
12 u = 2 p + 10
2 p + 10 = 96
2 p = 96 - 10
2 p = 86
1 p = 86 ÷ 2 = 43
Number of green stickers
= 1 p
= 43
(b)
Number of less blue stickers than red stickers
= 7 u - 1 u
= 6 u
= 6 x 8
= 48
Answer(s): (a) 43; (b) 48
