Question

shena gave away 3/8 of her stickers and had 45 stickers left. How many stickers did she have at first? options. a. 72. b. 120. c. 135. d. 225.​

Answer 1

let total number of stickers be x

shena gave away 3x/8 stickers

shena had left with (x-3x/8) stickers

but we know that,

x-3x/8 = 45

so, 5x/8 = 45

5x = 45×8

x = 45×8/5

x = 72

shena had 72 stickers at first

hope my answer helps you!
