1425% x 120
=
25100 x 120
= 30
60% x 30
=
60100 x 30
= 18
60% x 5 u
=
60100 x 5 u
= 3 u
Gabriel had 356 more stickers than Caden in the end. If another 356 stickers are given to Caden, both will have the same number of stickers.
6 u + 108 = 2 u + 12 + 356
6 u - 2 u = 12 + 356 - 108
10 u = 260
1 u = 260 ÷ 10 = 26
Number of Gabriel's stickers at first
= 4 u + 120
= 4 x 26 + 120
= 104 + 120
= 224
Answer: 224
