Boys : 3 stickers each
Number of girls = 5 x number of boys
Method : grouping
Put 1 boy and 5 girls into a group.
No matter how many groups there are, the total number of girls is always 5 times the number of boys
Number of stickers in a group
= 1 x 3 + 5 x 2
= 3 + 10
= 13
Number of groups such that there's a total 390 stickers
= 390 ÷ 13
= 30
So there are 30 groups.
= 10 - 3
= 7
Girls have 7 more stickers than boys in each group
Since there are 30 groups,
7 x 30 = 210
All the girls have 210 more stickers than all the boys
