(a)
Total number of stickers received = 4 u
4 u = 112
1 u = 112 ÷ 4 = 28
Total number of stickers that Tom, Howard and Mark received
= 112 - 28
= 84
Total number of stickers that Tom, Howard and Mark received
= 1 p + 5 p
= 6 p
1 p = 84 ÷ 6 = 14
Number of stickers that Tom received
= 1 p
= 14
(b)
Number of more stickers that David received more than Howard
= 1 u - 1 p
= 28 - 14
= 14
Answer(s): (a) 14; (b) 14
