Number of stickers that Sam had before = 5 u
Number of stickers that Sam gave to Ethan = 1 u
Number of stickers that Sam gave to Asher = 1 u
Number of stickers that Sam gave to Sean = 1 u
Number of stickers that Sam had left = 2 u
2 u = 38
1 u = 38 ÷ 2 = 19
Number of stickers that Sam had at first
= 5 u
= 5 u x 19
= 95
