(a)
100% - 40% = 60%
60% of red stickers = 93
100% of red stickers =
9360 x 100 = 155
100% - 50% = 50%
50% of green stickers = 83
100% of green stickers =
8350 x 100 = 166
Number of stickers at first
= 100% of red stickers + 100% of green stickers
= 155 + 166
= 321
(b)
Number of stickers in the end
= 93 + 83
= 176
Answer(s): (a) 321; (b) 176
