30% =
30100 =
310 Yellow stickers : Brown stickers = 3 : 7
Increase in the number of brown stickers
= 10% x 7 u
=
10100 x 7 u
= 0.7 u
50% =
50100 =
12 In the end
Yellow stickers : Brown stickers = 1 : 1
Number of stickers at first
= 7 u + 3 u
= 10 u
10 u = 100
1 u = 100 ÷ 10 = 10
Number of yellow stickers that Risa received from her younger sister
= 7.7 u - 3 u
= 4.7 u
= 4.7 x 10
= 47
Answer(s): 47
