3 x 3 = 9 u |
7 x 3 = 21 u |

+ ? |
No change |
After |
7 x 7 = 49 u |
3 x 7 = 21 u |
30% =
30100 =
31070% =
70100 =
710 The number of red stickers remains unchanged.
Make the number of red stickers the same using the LCM of 7 and 3.
LCM of 7 and 3 = 21
Total number of stickers at first
= 9 u + 21 u
= 30 u
30 u = 150
1 u = 150 ÷ 30 = 5
Number of stickers that Adam buys
= 49 u - 9 u
= 40 u
= 40 x 5
= 200
Answer(s): 200
