- Number of stickers that Adam has = _____ u
- Total number of stickers = _____ u
- Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam = _____ u
(a)
Change percentage into units.
Bryan has 50% more stickers than Charlie.

32 Bryan has
32 as many as Charlie.
Charlie has 50% more stickers than Adam.
100% + 50% = 150%

Charlie |
Adam |
3x3 |
2x3 |

3x2 |
2x2 |
9 u |
6 u |
4 u |
(b)
LCM of 2 and 3 = 6
Number of stickers that Adam has = 4 u
(c)
Total number of stickers that the children have
= 9 u + 6 u + 4 u
= 19 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam
= 9 u - 4 u
= 5 u
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 4; (c) 19; (d) 5
