Number of stickers that Dylan had before = 11 u
Number of stickers that Dylan gave to Ben = 1 u
Number of stickers that Dylan gave to Eric = 1 u
Number of stickers that Dylan gave to Paul = 1 u
Number of stickers that Dylan had left = 8 u
8 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 8 = 3
Number of stickers that Dylan had at first
= 11 u
= 11 u x 3
= 33
