(a)
100% - 25% = 75%
75% of green stickers = 93
100% of green stickers =
9375 x 100 = 124
100% - 30% = 70%
70% of red stickers = 91
100% of red stickers =
9170 x 100 = 130
Number of stickers at first
= 100% of green stickers + 100% of red stickers
= 124 + 130
= 254
(b)
Number of stickers in the end
= 93 + 91
= 184
Answer(s): (a) 254; (b) 184
