Total number of stickers that Diana and Jaslyn shared = 100%
If Diana gave 224 stickers to Jaslyn, 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 Diana gave to Jaslyn
= 78% - 50%
= 28%
28% → 224
1% → 224 ÷ 28 = 8
Number of stickers that Jaslyn had
= 22%
= 22 x 8
= 176
Answer(s): 176
