(a)
Total number of stickers received = 5 u
5 u = 135
1 u = 135 ÷ 5 = 27
Total number of stickers that Fred, Valen and Paul received
= 135 - 27
= 108
Total number of stickers that Fred, Valen and Paul received
= 1 p + 5 p
= 6 p
1 p = 108 ÷ 6 = 18
Number of stickers that Fred received
= 1 p
= 18
(b)
Number of more stickers that Luis received more than Valen
= 1 u - 1 p
= 27 - 18
= 9
Answer(s): (a) 18; (b) 9
