611 of his stickers while Sam gave
49 of his stickers away. Given that Flynn had 15 stickers less than Sam at first, how many stickers did Flynn have at first?

Sam |
| Before |
11x2 =
22 u |
9x3 =
27 u |
| Change |
- 6x2 =
- 12 u |
- 4x3 =
- 12 u |
| After |
5x2 =
10 u |
5x3 =
15 u |
The number of stickers that Flynn and Sam gave away is the same. Make the number of stickers that Flynn and Sam gave away the same. LCM of 6 and 4 is 12.
Number of stickers that Flynn had at first = 22 u
Number of stickers that Sam had at first = 27 u
Number of stickers that Flynn had less than Sam at first
= 27 u - 22 u
= 5 u
5 u = 15
1 u = 15 ÷ 5 = 3
Number of stickers that Flynn had at first
= 22 u
= 22 x 3
= 66
Answer(s): 66
