(a)
100% - 25% = 75%
75% of green stickers = 66
100% of green stickers =
6675 x 100 = 88
100% - 50% = 50%
50% of blue stickers = 72
100% of blue stickers =
7250 x 100 = 144
Number of stickers at first
= 100% of green stickers + 100% of blue stickers
= 88 + 144
= 232
(b)
Number of stickers in the end
= 66 + 72
= 138
Answer(s): (a) 232; (b) 138
