(a)
Total number of stickers received = 4 u
4 u = 48
1 u = 48 ÷ 4 = 12
Total number of stickers that Mark, Paul and Archie received
= 48 - 12
= 36
Total number of stickers that Mark, Paul and Archie received
= 1 p + 5 p
= 6 p
1 p = 36 ÷ 6 = 6
Number of stickers that Mark received
= 1 p
= 6
(b)
Number of more stickers that Cole received more than Paul
= 1 u - 1 p
= 12 - 6
= 6
Answer(s): (a) 6; (b) 6
