The stickers were sold at 20 cents each and the cards were sold at 40 cents each. What was the total amount of money he received from selling all the cards and stickers?

Different parts of this assignment are not consistent each with other.
First, the problem says that Jonatan sold 1/3 of the cards and 1/6 of the stickers.
Then the question asks what is the total amount of money he received from selling all the cards and stickers,
although the problem does not state that he sold all the cards and stickers.
This inconsistency forces me to think that the problem is defective, in whole.
===========================
Usually, people do not write Math problems in that style.
A normal math problem is a tightly knit thing, where all the parts are motivated /consistent each with others.
