Sheryl and Jennifer were given the same number of sticker at first. After jennifer used 84 stickers, sherly had 4 times as many stickers as jennifer. How many stickers were given to sherly at first

112 stickers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the number of stickers Sheryl and Jennifer were given at first.

Sheryl and Jennifer were given the same number of sticker at first.

So;

x = y ... 1

After jennifer used 84 stickers, sherly had 4 times as many stickers as jennifer.

x = 4 (y-84)

x = 4y - 336 ... 2

Substituting equation 1 into 2

y = 4y - 336

Solving for y;

4y - y = 336

3y = 336

y = 336/3

y = 112

Therefore, sherly was given 112 stickers at first
