Xavier and Usha share some stickers.
34 of Xavier's stickers is equal to
38 of Usha's stickers. Given that Xavier has 24 stickers less than Usha, how many stickers do they have altogether?
34 of Xavier's stickers = 38 of Usha's stickers
Number of Xavier's stickers = 4 u
Number of Usha's stickers = 8 u
Number of stickers that Xavier has less than Usha
= 8 u - 4 u
= 4 u
4 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 4 = 6
Total number of stickers
= 4 u + 8 u
= 12 u
= 12 x 6
= 72
Answer(s): 72
