Gabriel and Henry had the same number of stickers. Gabriel gave away
57 of his stickers while Henry gave away
35 of his stickers. Given that Gabriel gave away 12 stickers more than Henry, how many stickers did Gabriel have at first?

Gabriel's stickers |
Henry's stickers |
| Before |
7x5 =
35 u |
5x7 =
35 u |
| Change |
- 5x5 =
- 25 u |
- 3x7 =
- 21 u |
| After |
2x5 =
10 u |
2x7 =
14 u |
The number of cards that Gabriel and Henry each had at first is the same. Make the number of cards that Gabriel and Henry each had at first the same. LCM of 7 and 5 is 35.
Number of stickers that Gabriel gave away more than Henry
= 25 u - 21 u
= 4 u
4 u = 12
1 u = 12 ÷ 4 = 3
Number of stickers that Gabriel had at first
= 35 u
= 35 x 3
= 105
Answer(s): 105
