Question 1199872
<br>
Let x be the number Ivan had
Then 1.4x is the number Howard had<br>
Howard gave away 60% of his, so he had 40% of his original number left:
(.4)(1.4x) = .56x = number Howard had at the end<br>
Together they had 468 stickers at the end:<br>
x+.56x = 468
1.56x = 468
x = 468/1.56 = 300<br>
number Ivan had: x = 300
number Howard had originally: 1.4x = 420
number Howard gave away: .6(1.4x) = .84x = .84(300) = 252<br>
ANSWER: 252<br>
