Answer:
There are 288 stickers they have altogether.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution,
Let equal number of stickers both Logan and Izzy have be x.
After giving 72 stickers to Logan,
Number of stickers Izzy has = [tex]x-72[/tex]
After receiving 72 stickers,
Number of stickers Logan has = [tex]x+72[/tex]
Now according to question,After receiving 72 stickers Logan had 3 times more stickers than Izzy.
Therefore the equation is;
[tex]3\times(x-72)=x+72\\3x-216=x+72\\3x-x=72+216\\2x=288\\\\x=\frac{288}{2}=144[/tex]
So the number of stickers both Izzy and Logan have is 144.
Total number of stickers they have altogether is the sum stickers each has.
Total number of stickers = [tex]144+144=288[/tex]
Hence there are 288 stickers they have altogether.
