(a)
100% - 20% = 80%
80% of green stickers = 92
100% of green stickers =
9280 x 100 = 115
100% - 50% = 50%
50% of blue stickers = 86
100% of blue stickers =
8650 x 100 = 172
Number of stickers at first
= 100% of green stickers + 100% of blue stickers
= 115 + 172
= 287
(b)
Number of stickers in the end
= 92 + 86
= 178
Answer(s): (a) 287; (b) 178
