(a)
100% - 20% = 120%
120% of red stickers = 66
100% of red stickers =
66120 x 100 = 55
100% - 50% = 50%
50% of blue stickers = 68
100% of blue stickers =
6850 x 100 = 136
Number of stickers at first
= 100% of red stickers + 100% of blue stickers
= 55 + 136
= 191
(b)
Number of stickers in the end
= 66 + 68
= 134
Answer(s): (a) 191; (b) 134
