Answer:

54

Explanation:

The given relation lets us write an equation for the original number of stickers.

Setup

Let n represent the number of stickers Toni originally had. After giving half to Anne, Toni had n/2. Then when she received 10 from her friend, her total was ...

n/2 +10 = 37

Solution

Subtract 10 to get ...

n/2 = 27

n = 54 . . . . . multiply by 2

Toni had 54 stickers in her collection originally.
