The number of stickers that Linda had at first and in the end remains unchanged. Make the number of stickers that Linda had the same. LCM of 6 and 2 is 6.
Number of stickers that Linda had more than Raeann at first
= 6 u - 4 u
= 2 u
2 u = 104
1 u = 104 ÷ 2 = 52
Number of stickers that Raeann had at first
= 4 u
= 4 x 52
= 208
Answer(s): 208
