Total number of stickers that Fiona and Opal shared = 100%
If Fiona gave 132 stickers to Opal, 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 Fiona gave to Opal
= 83% - 50%
= 33%
33% → 132
1% → 132 ÷ 33 = 4
Number of stickers that Fiona had
= 83%
= 83 x 4
= 332
Answer(s): 332
