Number of stickers that Vaidev had before = 11 u
Number of stickers that Vaidev gave to Valen = 2 u
Number of stickers that Vaidev gave to Dylan = 1 u
Number of stickers that Vaidev gave to Pierre = 1 u
Number of stickers that Vaidev had left = 7 u
7 u = 28
1 u = 28 ÷ 7 = 4
Number of stickers that Vaidev had at first
= 11 u
= 11 u x 4
= 44
