65% =
65100 =
1320Fraction of the stickers that Adam has at first =
1320 Number of stickers that Adam has at first = 13 u
(b)
Change in the number of stickers that Adam has
= 20% x 13 u
=
20100 x 13 u
= 0.2 x 13 u
= 2.6 u
(c)
Number of stickers that Adam has in the end
= 13 u - 2.6 u
= 10.4 u
(d)

= 1 -
1320 =
720 There is no change in the number of stickers that Bryan has.
