(a)
Total number of stickers received = 4 u
4 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 4 = 10
Total number of stickers that Seth, Henry and Charlie received
= 40 - 10
= 30
Total number of stickers that Seth, Henry and Charlie received
= 1 p + 4 p
= 5 p
1 p = 30 ÷ 5 = 6
Number of stickers that Seth received
= 1 p
= 6
(b)
Number of more stickers that Bobby received more than Henry
= 1 u - 1 p
= 10 - 6
= 4
Answer(s): (a) 6; (b) 4
