hi Jason Oon, your multiply by 2 is it to answer to the 25% shaded, which is 1/4? if yes, i can understand why 4u-1u. but why 6u-1u?

Yes, multiply by 2 to make into 4u. (6u - 1u) is due to the overlapping, since the question mentioned unshaded area of triangle DEF is 95 cm2 and not the area of triangle DEF.

Thanks Jason Oon. the assumption is the shaded area is 1u?

28u - 9u to find for Rakel, and 19u - 9u to find difference between Rakel and Perry; since question mentioned Perry had 50 fewer stickers than Rakel.

You're welcome. To be able to solve this kind of question, you will need to be able to compare between the 2 ratios. Hence, making them the same units is essential for comparison.
