Total number of stickers that Kathy and Nicole shared = 100%
If Kathy gave 192 stickers to Nicole, 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 Kathy gave to Nicole
= 74% - 50%
= 24%
24% → 192
1% → 192 ÷ 24 = 8
Number of stickers that Kathy had
= 74%
= 74 x 8
= 592
Answer(s): 592
