110 30% =
30100 =
310 Number of red and yellow stickers
= 10 u - 1 u - 3 u
= 6 u
10 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 10 = 12
Number of red and yellow stickers
= 6 u
= 6 x 12
= 72
6 u = 2 p + 10
2 p + 10 = 72
2 p = 72 - 10
2 p = 62
1 p = 62 ÷ 2 = 31
Number of yellow stickers
= 1 p
= 31
(b)
Number of more blue stickers than green stickers
= 3 u - 1 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 12
= 24
Answer(s): (a) 31; (b) 24
