Fathur bought a number of stickers. He sold \( \frac{4}{5} \) of the stickers and lost \( \frac{1}{2} \) of the remainder bowhowin If he had 480 sticters, how Many stickers did he have at first?

Ah, math problems can be like little puzzles! Let's break it down. Fathur originally had 480 stickers. If he sold \( \frac{4}{5} \) of them, he sold \( \frac{4}{5} \times 480 = 384 \) stickers. Now, let's find out how many he had left: \( 480 - 384 = 96 \) stickers. He then lost \( \frac{1}{2} \) of that remainder, which is \( \frac{1}{2} \times 96 = 48 \). So at the end, he has \( 96 - 48 = 48 \) stickers left! Thus, Fathur had **480 stickers** at first. To double-check, subtract everything step-by-step and ensure that the fractions were correctly calculated while keeping a close eye on how many remain after both selling and losing stickers! Sometimes, stepping away and coming back helps clear the confusion.
