Daniel gave 4/5 of his stickers to perry.Perry's collection of stickers increased to 64.If Perry had 28 stickers at first,how many stickers had Daniel at first?
64-28=36 stickers that Dan gave Perry
36 is 4/5 of the original amount
so, 9 is 1/5
Thus Perry had 45 to start with
To find out how many stickers Daniel had at first, we need to work backwards.
Let's assume that Daniel initially had x stickers.
According to the given information, Daniel gave 4/5 of his stickers to Perry. Since 4/5 of x is given to Perry, Daniel is left with 1/5 of his initial number of stickers.
We are also told that Perry's collection increased to 64 after receiving some stickers from Daniel. Given that Perry initially had 28 stickers, we can calculate the number of stickers he received from Daniel by subtracting his initial number of stickers (28) from the total number of stickers he has now (64).
So, Perry received (64 - 28) = 36 stickers from Daniel.
By setting up a proportion, we can solve for the number of stickers Daniel initially had:
1/5 = 36/x
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
1 * x = 5 * 36
x = 180
Therefore, Daniel initially had 180 stickers.
