Answer:
Hello!
Judging by the question you have provided I have deduced that the correct answer is:
24 people
Step-by-step explanation:
To come across this answer I assumed that of the stickers are flowers,
of the stickers are plants, and the wrest of the stickers are people.
I then realized that I could look at the equation this way:
If we already know how many stickers are not people, we can then add up the amount of stickers we know are not people, and then subtract that amount from the total amount of stickers to figure out how many left can be people!
Which in this case would be:
(not people)+
(not people) =
stickers that are not people, or if simplified
or half of the total number of stickers.
We now know that half of the stickers are not people, so thus we can deduce that the other half of the stickers are people.
And half of 48 is:
24
Thus, 24 stickers are people!
And the other 24 have to be flowers and plants!
