When Adam gives away some blue stickers,
40% of the remaining stickers are blue stickers.
How many stickers does Adam give away?

Before |
3 x 3 = 9 u |
1 x 3 = 3 u |
Change |
- ? |
No change |
After |
2 x 1 = 2 u |
3 x 1 = 3 u |
75% =
75100 =
3440% =
40100 =
25 The number of green stickers remains unchanged.
Make the number of green stickers the same using the LCM of 1 and 3.
LCM of 1 and 3 = 3
Total number of stickers at first
= 9 u + 3 u
= 12 u
12 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 12 = 25
Number of stickers that Adam gives away
= 9 u - 2 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 25
= 175
Answer(s): 175
