Total number of stickers that Victoria and Shannon shared = 100%
If Victoria gave 50 stickers to Shannon, 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 Victoria gave to Shannon
= 75% - 50%
= 25%
25% → 50
1% → 50 ÷ 25 = 2
Number of stickers that Shannon had
= 25%
= 25 x 2
= 50
Answer(s): 50
