John           4m
Mark            m
Dan           2*4m
-------------------------
4m-m=420

That could have been arranged differently, since the question was for how many stickers did Dan have.

3m=420
m=%282%2A3%2A7%2A10%29%2F3
m=cross%283%2A7%2A10%29
m=2%2A7%2A10
cross%28m=210%29
highlight_green%28m=140%29

For Dan, 1120 stickers
