- Who is the repeated identity? Give the answer in number. (Eg Charlie = 1; Adam = 2; Bryan = 3)
- Number of stickers that Adam has = _____ u
- Total number of stickers = _____ u
- Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Charlie = _____ u
(a)
Bryan has 40% less stickers than Adam.
100% - 40% = 60%
60% =
60100 =
35 Bryan has
35 as many as stickers as Adam.
Charlie has 50% less stickers than Bryan.
100% - 50% = 50%
50% =
50100 =
12 Charlie has
12 as many as stickers as Bryan.

(b)
LCM of 3 and 2 = 6
Number of stickers that Adam has = 10 u
(c)
Total number of stickers that the children have
= 6 u + 10 u + 3 u
= 19 u
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Charlie
= 6 u - 3 u
= 3 u
Answer(s): (a) 1; (b) 10; (c) 19; (d) 3
