- There are 408 red stickers in the box. How many stickers are there in the box altogether?
(a)
Percentage of stickers that are red
= 100% - 40% - 12%
= 48%
Fraction of stickers that are red
=
48100 =
1225 (b)
Number of red stickers = 12 u
12 u = 408
1 u = 408 ÷ 12 = 34
Total number of stickers

= 25 x 34
= 850
