30% =
30100 =
310 White stickers : Silver stickers = 3 : 7
Increase in the number of silver stickers
= 25% x 7 u
=
25100 x 7 u
= 1.75 u
50% =
50100 =
12 In the end
White stickers : Silver stickers = 1 : 1
Number of stickers at first
= 7 u + 3 u
= 10 u
10 u = 280
1 u = 280 ÷ 10 = 28
Number of white stickers that Rachel received from her grandmother
= 8.75 u - 3 u
= 5.75 u
= 5.75 x 28
= 161
Answer(s): 161
