Total number of stickers that Nicole and Wendy shared = 100%
If Nicole gave 64 stickers to Wendy, 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 Nicole gave to Wendy
= 82% - 50%
= 32%
32% → 64
1% → 64 ÷ 32 = 2
Number of stickers that Nicole had
= 82%
= 82 x 2
= 164
Answer(s): 164
