(a)
Change percentage into units.
65% =
65100 =
1320Fraction of the stickers that Bryan has at first =
1320 Number of stickers that Bryan has at first = 13 u
(b)
Change in the number of stickers that Bryan has
= 10% x 13 u
=
10100 x 13 u
= 0.1 x 13 u
= 1.3 u
(c)
Number of stickers that Bryan has in the end
= 13 u - 1.3 u
= 11.7 u
(d)
Fraction of the number of stickers that Adam has at first
= 1 -
1320 =
720 There is no change in the number of stickers that Adam has.
