(a)
Total number of stickers received = 4 u
4 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 4 = 15
Total number of stickers that Paul, Rael and Mark received
= 60 - 15
= 45
Total number of stickers that Paul, Rael and Mark received
= 1 p + 4 p
= 5 p
1 p = 45 ÷ 5 = 9
Number of stickers that Paul received
= 1 p
= 9
(b)
Number of more stickers that Perry received more than Rael
= 1 u - 1 p
= 15 - 9
= 6
Answer(s): (a) 9; (b) 6
