Total number of stickers that Vanessa and Eva shared = 100%
If Vanessa gave 84 stickers to Eva, 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 Vanessa gave to Eva
= 71% - 50%
= 21%
21% → 84
1% → 84 ÷ 21 = 4
Number of stickers that Eva had
= 29%
= 29 x 4
= 116
Answer(s): 116
