(a)
Total number of stickers received = 5 u
5 u = 150
1 u = 150 ÷ 5 = 30
Total number of stickers that Will, Perry and Asher received
= 150 - 30
= 120
Total number of stickers that Will, Perry and Asher received
= 1 p + 5 p
= 6 p
1 p = 120 ÷ 6 = 20
Number of stickers that Will received
= 1 p
= 20
(b)
Number of more stickers that Brandon received more than Perry
= 1 u - 1 p
= 30 - 20
= 10
Answer(s): (a) 20; (b) 10
