Total number of stickers that Nicole and Barbara shared = 100%
If Nicole gave 204 stickers to Barbara, 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 Barbara
= 84% - 50%
= 34%
34% → 204
1% → 204 ÷ 34 = 6
Number of stickers that Barbara had
= 16%
= 16 x 6
= 96
Answer(s): 96
