If Seth gives 14 stickers to Hilda, she will have 14 more stickers than him. However, Hilda must have 30 more stickers than Seth in the end. So, Seth has to give Hilda more stickers.
Number of more stickers that Seth has to give to Hilda
= (30 - 14) ÷ 2
= 16 ÷ 2
= 8
So after giving 14 stickers to Hilda, Seth has to give her another 8 more stickers so that she has 30 stickers more than him.
Total number of stickers that Hilda needs to get from Seth
= 14 + 8
= 22
Answer(s): 22
