Use algebra.
Let the number of stickers each had in the beginning = x stickers.
Ray lost 10 we represent this by
x - 10 ( = no. stickers he has now)
Tom bought 200 so the number of stickers he now has
= x + 200
Rays has 1/4 as much as Tom so we can now create the equation
1/4(x + 200) = x - 10
Soling for x:-
1/4 x + 50 = x - 10
60 = 3/4 x
x = 60 * 4/3 = 80
Answer they had 80 stickers at first.

Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
3/(x-3) = 8/(2x+6)
or, 3(2x+6) = 8(x-3) ( by cross multiplication)
or, 6x + 18 = 8x - 24
or, 8x - 6x = 24 + 18
or, 2x = 42
or, x = 42/2
=21
It’s always gonna be 60 Units this is just an known fact
