Number of stickers that Elijah had before = 9 u
Number of stickers that Elijah gave to Oliver = 1 u
Number of stickers that Elijah gave to Jenson = 1 u
Number of stickers that Elijah gave to Zeph = 2 u
Number of stickers that Elijah had left = 5 u
5 u = 25
1 u = 25 ÷ 5 = 5
Number of stickers that Elijah had at first
= 9 u
= 9 u x 5
= 45
