(a)
Total number of stickers received = 5 u
5 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 5 = 12
Total number of stickers that Gabriel, Vaidev and Jack received
= 60 - 12
= 48
Total number of stickers that Gabriel, Vaidev and Jack received
= 1 p + 5 p
= 6 p
1 p = 48 ÷ 6 = 8
Number of stickers that Gabriel received
= 1 p
= 8
(b)
Number of more stickers that Paul received more than Vaidev
= 1 u - 1 p
= 12 - 8
= 4
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) 4
