3 x 1 = 3 u |
7 x 1 = 7 u |

No change |

4 x 7 = 28 u |
1 x 7 = 7 u |

45 The number of green stickers remains unchanged.
Make the number of green stickers the same using the LCM of 7 and 1.
LCM of 7 and 1 = 7
Total number of stickers at first
= 3 u + 7 u
= 10 u
10 u = 340
1 u = 340 ÷ 10 = 34
Number of stickers that Adam buys
= 28 u - 3 u
= 25 u
= 25 x 34
= 850
Answer(s): 850
