20% =
20100 =
15 Green stickers : Red stickers = 1 : 4
Increase in the number of red stickers
= 10% x 4 u
=
10100 x 4 u
= 0.4 u
50% =
50100 =
12 In the end
Green stickers : Red stickers = 1 : 1
Number of stickers at first
= 4 u + 1 u
= 5 u
5 u = 150
1 u = 150 ÷ 5 = 30
Number of green stickers that Shannon received from her grandfather
= 4.4 u - 1 u
= 3.4 u
= 3.4 x 30
= 102
Answer(s): 102
