(a)
Total number of stickers received = 4 u
4 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 4 = 30
Total number of stickers that Tom, Eric and Asher received
= 120 - 30
= 90
Total number of stickers that Tom, Eric and Asher received
= 1 p + 4 p
= 5 p
1 p = 90 ÷ 5 = 18
Number of stickers that Tom received
= 1 p
= 18
(b)
Number of more stickers that Oliver received more than Eric
= 1 u - 1 p
= 30 - 18
= 12
Answer(s): (a) 18; (b) 12
