Total number of stickers that Sabrina and Julie shared = 100%
If Sabrina gave 126 stickers to Julie, both would have the same number of stickers.
Number of stickers that each would have in the end
= 100% ÷ 2
= 50%
Number of stickers that Sabrina gave to Julie
= 71% - 50%
= 21%
21% → 126
1% → 126 ÷ 21 = 6
Number of stickers that Julie had
= 29%
= 29 x 6
= 174
Answer(s): 174
