100% + 25% = 125%
125% x 5 u
=
125100 x 5 u
= 6.25 u
125% x 96
=
125100 x 96
= 120
75% x 5 u
=
75100 x 5 u
= 3.75 u
75% x 96
=
75100 x 96
= 72
If another 71 stickers are given to Bryan, he will have equal number of stickers and erasers in the end.
6 u = 1.25 u + 24 + 71
6 u - 1.25 u = 95
4.75 u = 95
1 u = 95 ÷ 4.75 = 20
Number of stickers that Fanny has at first
= 6.25 u + 120
= 6.25 x 20 + 120
= 125 + 120
= 245
Answer(s): 245
