(a)
100% - 20% = 120%
120% of red stickers = 66
100% of red stickers =
66120 x 100 = 55
100% - 40% = 60%
60% of green stickers = 60
100% of green stickers =
6060 x 100 = 100
Number of stickers at first
= 100% of red stickers + 100% of green stickers
= 55 + 100
= 155
(b)
Number of stickers in the end
= 66 + 60
= 126
Answer(s): (a) 155; (b) 126
