Percentage of lollipops after Archie received from Seth
= 100% + 25%
= 125%
Percentage of Archie's lollipops that Anna had after receiving from Archie
= 60% x 125%
=
60100 x 125%
= 75%
Percentage of lollipops that Archie had left after giving to Anna
= 125% - 75%
= 50%
100% = 50
Number of lollipops that Archie had left
= 50% x 50
=
50100 x 50
= 25
