Betty gave 8% of her collection of stickers to Elyse thereby increasing Elyse's collection by 25%. If Betty had 46 stickers left, how many stickers did Elyse have at first?
| |
Betty's stickers |
Elyse's stickers |
| Before |
100% |
100 u |
| Change |
- 8% |
+ 8% = + 25 u |
| After |
92% |
125 u |
92% of Betty's collection = 46
1% of Betty's collection = 46 ÷ 92 = 0.5
8% of Betty's collection = 8 x 0.5 = 4
25 u of Elyse's collection = 4
1 u of Elyse's collection =
416 = 0.16
100 u of Elyse's collection = 100 x 0.16 = 16
Answer(s): 16
