Fabian and Howard had a total of 187 stickers at first. After Fabian bought 25 more stickers and Howard gave away 18 stickers, Fabian now has the same number of stickers as Howard. How many stickers did Fabian have at first?

Fabian |
Howard |
Total |
Before |
1 u - 25 |
1 u + 18 |
187 |
Change |
+ 25 |
- 18 |
|
After |
1 u |
1 u |
194 |
Total number of stickers in the end
= 187 + 25 - 18
= 194
2 u = 194
1 u = 194 ÷ 2 = 97
Number of stickers that Fabian had in the end
= 1 u
= 97
Number of stickers that Fabian had at first
= 97 - 25
= 72
Answer(s): 72
