40% =
40100 =
25 Brown stickers : Black stickers = 2 : 3
Increase in the number of black stickers
= 20% x 3 u
=
20100 x 3 u
= 0.6 u
50% =
50100 =
12 In the end
Brown stickers : Black stickers = 1 : 1
Number of stickers at first
= 3 u + 2 u
= 5 u
5 u = 200
1 u = 200 ÷ 5 = 40
Number of brown stickers that Fiona received from her younger sister
= 3.6 u - 2 u
= 1.6 u
= 1.6 x 40
= 64
Answer(s): 64
