(a)
Total number of stickers received = 4 u
4 u = 56
1 u = 56 ÷ 4 = 14
Total number of stickers that Billy, Liam and Jeremy received
= 56 - 14
= 42
Total number of stickers that Billy, Liam and Jeremy received
= 1 p + 5 p
= 6 p
1 p = 42 ÷ 6 = 7
Number of stickers that Billy received
= 1 p
= 7
(b)
Number of more stickers that Glen received more than Liam
= 1 u - 1 p
= 14 - 7
= 7
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 7
