Let the number of stickers in each pack be 'x'

Finn bought 2 packs of stickers.

Number of stickers in 2 packs = $2 \times x$ = 2x

According to the question, a friend gave him 4 more stickers and now he has 24 stickers in all.

Therefore, $2x+4=24$

$2x=24-4$

$2x=20$

x = 10

Therefore, number of stickers in each pack are 10.
