Number of green stickers in Bag P at first
= 40% x 130
=
40100 x 130
= 52
Number of blue stickers in Bag P at first
= 130 - 52
= 78
Number of green stickers in Bag Q at first
= 75% x 68
=
75100 x 68
= 51
Number of blue stickers in Bag Q at first
= 68 - 51
= 17
Bag P in the end30% =
30100 =
310 Green stickers : Blue stickers = 7 : 3
Bag Q in the end50% =
50100 =
12Green stickers : Blue stickers = 1 : 1
Total number of green stickers = 7 u + 1 p
7 u + 1 p = 52 + 51
7 u + 1 p = 103
1 p = 103 - 7 u --- (1)
Total number of blue stickers = 3 u + 1 p
3 u + 1 p = 78 + 17
3 u + 1 p = 95
1 p = 95 - 3 u --- (2)
(2) = (1)
95 - 3 u = 103 - 7 u
7 u - 3 u = 103 - 95
4 u = 8
1 u = 8 ÷ 4 = 2
Total number of blue stickers and green stickers that must be moved from Bag P to Bag Q
= 130 - 10 u
= 130 - 10 x 2
= 130 - 20
= 110
Answer(s): 110
