At first, Opal had an equal number of silver and purple stickers . She gave away ²₅ of her silver stickers and some purple stickers. In the end, she was left with ³₅ of her stickers. What fraction of the purple stickers did Opal give away?

	Silver	Purple	Total
Comparing silver stickers and purple stickers at first	1x5x1 = 5 u	1x5x1 =  5 u	2x5x1 =  10 u
Before	5x1 = 5 u	5 u	5x2 = 10 u
Change	- 2x1 = - 2 u	- 2 u	- 3x2 = - 4 u
After	3x1 = 3 u	3 u	2x2 = 6 u

After3_x1 =
3 u
3 u2_x2 =
6 u
The number of silver stickers at first is repeated. Make the number of silver stickers the first the same. LCM of 5 and 1 is 5.

The total number of stickers at first is repeated. Make the total number of stickers at first the same. LCM of 10 and 5 is 10.

Number of purple stickers that Opal was left with
= 6 u - 3 u
= 3 u

Number of purple stickers that Opal gave away
= 5 u - 3 u
= 2 u

Fraction of the purple stickers that Opal gave away = ²₅

Answer(s): ²₅
