1/4 * t = 2/3 * c
t = c + 25


replace t in the first eqution with c + 25 from the second equation to get:


1/4 * (c + 25) = 2/3 * c


multiply both sides of the equation by 12 to get:


3 * (c + 25) = 8 * c


simplify to get:


3 * c + 75 = 8 * c


subtract 3 * c from both sides of the equation to get:


75 = 5 * c


solve for c to get:


c = 75 / 5 = 15.


since t has 25 more stickers than c, then t = 40.


do the problem again replacing t with 40 and c with 15.


1/4 * t = 2/3 * c becomes 1/4 * 40 = 2/3 * 15 which becomes 10 = 10.
this is good.


t = c + 25 becomes 40 = 15 + 25 which becomes 40 = 40.
this is also good.


your solution is that they have 40 + 15 = 55 stickers together.
