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

Jenson's stickers |
Julian'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 Jenson and Julian each had at first is the same. Make the number of cards that Jenson and Julian each had at first the same. LCM of 7 and 5 is 35.
Number of stickers that Jenson gave away more than Julian
= 25 u - 21 u
= 4 u
4 u = 12
1 u = 12 ÷ 4 = 3
Number of stickers that Jenson had at first
= 35 u
= 35 x 3
= 105
Answer(s): 105
