How many stickers did he give away altogether?

Hello Guest!

Mathew owns x.

$\frac{x}{4}+2\cdot\frac{x-\frac{x}{4}}{2}+24=102\\ \frac{x}{4}+x-\frac{x}{4}+24=102\\x=78$

78/4=19.5   (78-19.5)/2=29.25

Matthew gave $19\frac{1}{2}$ stickers to May and $29\frac{1}{4}$ an Lily.

This is strange, I have to check:

$x-(\frac{x}{4}+\frac{{x-\frac{x}{4}}}{2})+24=102$

$\frac{4x-x-2x+\frac{x}{2}}{4}=102-24\\ 1.5x=312\\ x=208$

208/4=52    (208-52)/2=78

Matthew gave 52 stickers to May and 78 an Lily.
