Adam has 60% of the total stickers.
If Adam receives extra stickers,
his number of stickers increases to 85%.
- Number of stickers that Adam has at first = _____ u
- Change in the number of stickers that Adam has = _____ u
- Number of stickers that Bryan has at first = _____ u
- Number of stickers that Bryan has in the end = _____ u

2 x 3 = 6 u |
3 x 3 = 9 u |

No change |
+ ? |
After |
3 x 2 = 6 u |
17 x 2 = 34 u |
(a)
Change percentage into units.
60% =
60100 =
35 Fraction of the stickers that Adam has at first =
35 85% =
85100 =
1720 Fraction of the stickers that Adam has in the end =
1720 The number of stickers that Adam has remained unchanged.
LCM of 2 and 3 = 6
Number of stickers that Adam has at first = 9 u
(b)
Change in the number of stickers that Adam has
= 34 u - 9 u
= 25 u
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 6 u
(d)
Number of stickers that Bryan has in the end = 6 u
Answer(s): (a) 9; (b) 25; (c) 6; (d) 6
