Number of stickers that George had before = 9 u
Number of stickers that George gave to Ken = 1 u
Number of stickers that George gave to Vaidev = 1 u
Number of stickers that George gave to Albert = 3 u
Number of stickers that George had left = 4 u
4 u = 32
1 u = 32 ÷ 4 = 8
Number of stickers that George had at first
= 9 u
= 9 u x 8
= 72
