Hi,

Please help me on this question. Thanks in advance.

Michelle had four times as many stickers as Vanessa. After each of them bought an equal number of stickers from the bookshop, Michelle had thrice as many stickers as Vanessa. If Vanessa had 57 stickers in the end how many stickers did each of them buy from the bookshop?
