\n" ); document.write( "B has 5/11 of the stickers; that is given directly.

\n" ); document.write( "\"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.

\n" ); document.write( "\"C had 1/3 as many as what A B and D had in total.\" That means C had 1/4 of the stickers.

\n" ); document.write( "C had 72 fewer stickers than B:

\n" ); document.write( "\"%285%2F11%29x-%281%2F4%29x+=+72\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2820%2F44%29x-%2811%2F44%29x+=+72\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%289%2F44%29x+=+72\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+72%2844%2F9%29+=+44%2A8+=+352\"

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: Together they had 352 stickers.
