(a)
100% - 30% = 70%
70% of blue stickers = 91
100% of blue stickers =
9170 x 100 = 130
100% - 50% = 50%
50% of red stickers = 74
100% of red stickers =
7450 x 100 = 148
Number of stickers at first
= 100% of blue stickers + 100% of red stickers
= 130 + 148
= 278
(b)
Number of stickers in the end
= 91 + 74
= 165
Answer(s): (a) 278; (b) 165
