Amelia has some stickers. She gives 15 to her brother and then buys 24 more. She now has 47 stickers. How many stickers did Amelia start with?

  1. This is a 'working backwards' problem, so start from the final amount, 47, and reverse each step in the opposite order to how it happened.
  2. The last thing that happened was buying 24 more, so reverse it by subtracting: 47 - 24 = 23.
  3. Before that, she gave away 15, so reverse it by adding: 23 + 15 = 38.
  4. Check by working forwards from 38: 38 - 15 = 23, then 23 + 24 = 47, which matches the given total.
  5. So Amelia started with 38 stickers.
