Total number of stickers that Barbara and Shiyun shared = 100%
If Barbara gave 26 stickers to Shiyun, 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 Barbara gave to Shiyun
= 63% - 50%
= 13%
13% → 26
1% → 26 ÷ 13 = 2
Number of stickers that Barbara had
= 63%
= 63 x 2
= 126
Answer(s): 126
