Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of stickers be x each.

Siti gave away 55 stickers.

Stickers left with Siti = x - 55

Xinyi threw away 15 stickers

Stickers left with Xinyi = x - 15

According to the question :

Xinyi had 3 times the stickers as Siti

⇒(x - 15) = 3 ( x -55)

⇒ x - 15 = 3x - 165

⇒  165 - 15 = 3x - x

⇒ 2x = 150

⇒  x = 75

∴ Siti and Xinyi both had 75 stickers
