(a)
Total number of stickers received = 4 u
4 u = 72
1 u = 72 ÷ 4 = 18
Total number of stickers that Seth, Glen and Justin received
= 72 - 18
= 54
Total number of stickers that Seth, Glen and Justin received
= 1 p + 5 p
= 6 p
1 p = 54 ÷ 6 = 9
Number of stickers that Seth received
= 1 p
= 9
(b)
Number of more stickers that Brandon received more than Glen
= 1 u - 1 p
= 18 - 9
= 9
Answer(s): (a) 9; (b) 9
