Change 2 |

15 u |
Comparing between Eric, Fabian and Tom in the end |
1x5 = 5 u |
1x5 = 5 u |
1x5 = 5 u |
3x5 = 15 u |
Fraction of stickers that Eric had left
= 1 -
110 -
25 = 1 -
110 -
410 =
510 Total number of stickers
= 3 x 5 u
= 15 u
15 u = 270
1 u = 270 ÷ 15 = 18
Difference in the number of stickers between Fabian and Tom at first
