Before |
17 x 3 = 51 u |
3 x 3 = 9 u |
Change |
- ? |
No change |
After |
11 x 1 = 11 u |
9 x 1 = 9 u |
85% =
85100 =
172055% =
55100 =
1120 The number of blue stickers remains unchanged.
Make the number of blue stickers the same using the LCM of 3 and 9.
LCM of 3 and 9 = 9
Total number of stickers at first
= 51 u + 9 u
= 60 u
60 u = 360
1 u = 360 ÷ 60 = 6
Number of stickers that Adam gives away
= 51 u - 11 u
= 40 u
= 40 x 6
= 240
Answer(s): 240
