(a)
100% - 35% = 65%
65% of green stickers = 52
100% of green stickers =
5265 x 100 = 80
100% - 50% = 50%
50% of red stickers = 84
100% of red stickers =
8450 x 100 = 168
Number of stickers at first
= 100% of green stickers + 100% of red stickers
= 80 + 168
= 248
(b)
Number of stickers in the end
= 52 + 84
= 136
Answer(s): (a) 248; (b) 136
