After |
5 u - 68 |
9 u |
Sabrina had 92 more stamps than Wesley in the end. So, if Wesley had another 92 stamps, he would have the same number of stamps as Sabrina.
9 u = 5 u - 68 + 92
9 u - 5 u = 92 - 68
4 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 4 = 6
Number of stamps that Sabrina had at first
= 9 u
= 9 x 6
= 54
Answer: 54
