- There are 616 red stickers in the box. How many stickers are there in the box altogether?
(a)
Percentage of stickers that are red
= 100% - 30% - 15%
= 55%
Fraction of stickers that are red
=
55100 =
1120 (b)
Number of red stickers = 11 u
11 u = 616
1 u = 616 ÷ 11 = 56
Total number of stickers
= 20 u
= 20 x 56
= 1120
Answer(s): (a)
