Tommy had 192 stickers and Terrance had 116 stickers. When each one gave away the same number of stickers, Tommy then had 5 times as many stickers as Terrance. How many stickers did each friend give away?
I hope this is correct.
We use guess-and-check until we find out 95 is 5*19. So the answer is 192 - 95 = 97.
+237 Tommy had 192 stickers
Terrance had 116 stickers
Assume that they have given 'x' number of stickers
Now, no. of stickers tommy had = 192 - x
no. of stickers terrance had = 116 - x
Given that Tommy, now have 5 times as many stickers as Terrance
192 x - = 5 (116 - x)
192 - x = 580 - 5x
5x - x = 580 - 192
4x = 388
x = 97
Tommy and Terrance had 97 stickers.
