50% = 61 |
(a)
100% - 20% = 80%
80% of blue stickers = 60
100% of blue stickers =
6080 x 100 = 75
100% - 50% = 50%
50% of red stickers = 61
100% of red stickers =
6150 x 100 = 122
Number of stickers at first
= 100% of blue stickers + 100% of red stickers
= 75 + 122
= 197
(b)
Number of stickers in the end
= 60 + 61
= 121
Answer(s): (a) 197; (b) 121
