3 u x 50% = 1.5 u

3 u x 50% = 1.5 u

40% =
40100 =
25 Total number of stickers = 5 u
Number of green stickers = 2 u
Number of red and blue stickers
= 5 u - 2 u
= 3 u
5 u = 340
1 u = 340 ÷ 5 = 68
(a)
Percent of remaining stickers that are blue
= 100% - 50%
= 50%
Number of blue stickers
= 50% x 3 u
= 0.5 x 3 u
= 1.5 u
= 1.5 x 68
= 102
(b)
Number of red stickers
= 50% x 3 u
= 0.5 x 3 u
= 1.5 u
Number of green stickers = 2 u
Number of less red stickers than green stickers
= 2 u - 1.5 u
= 0.5 u
= 0.5 x 68
= 34
Answer(s): (a) 102; (b) 34
