B has 5/11 of the stickers; that is given directly.

"The ratio of the number of stickers A had to the total number owned by B C D was 1:7." That means A has 1/8 of the stickers.

"C had 1/3 as many as what A B and D had in total." That means C had 1/4 of the stickers.

C had 72 fewer stickers than B:

ANSWER: Together they had 352 stickers.
