(a)
100% - 20% = 80%
80% of green stickers = 56
100% of green stickers =
5680 x 100 = 70
100% - 50% = 50%
50% of blue stickers = 74
100% of blue stickers =
7450 x 100 = 148
Number of stickers at first
= 100% of green stickers + 100% of blue stickers
= 70 + 148
= 218
(b)
Number of stickers in the end
= 56 + 74
= 130
Answer(s): (a) 218; (b) 130
