Total number of stickers that Gillian and Marion shared = 100%
If Gillian gave 52 stickers to Marion, 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 Gillian gave to Marion
= 76% - 50%
= 26%
26% → 52
1% → 52 ÷ 26 = 2
Number of stickers that Marion had
= 24%
= 24 x 2
= 48
Answer(s): 48
