35100 =
720 Number of yellow and blue stickers
= 20 u - 3 u - 7 u
= 10 u
20 u = 100
1 u = 100 ÷ 20 = 5
Number of yellow and blue stickers
= 10 u
= 10 x 5
= 50
10 u = 2 p + 10
2 p + 10 = 50
2 p = 50 - 10
2 p = 40
1 p = 40 ÷ 2 = 20
Number of blue stickers
= 1 p
= 20

Number of less red stickers than green stickers
= 7 u - 3 u
= 4 u
= 4 x 5
= 20
Answer(s): (a) 20; (b) 20
