Luke had 124 stickers more than Brandon at first.
If 124 more marbles is given to Brandon at first, both will have the same number of marbles.
4 u + 124 = 1 u + 154
4 u - 1 u = 154 - 124
3 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 3 = 10
Number of stickers that Luke has at first
= 1 u + 154
= 10 + 154
= 164
Answer(s): 164
