Answer:

16 stuffed toys.

Explanation:

We have been given that Erica had a collection of 55 stuffed animals. She took out her favorite 7 animals.

After taking out 7 animals Erica is left with
55-7=48 stuffed animals.

To find the number of stuffed animals that each of Erica's sister will get, we will divide 48 by 3 as:

$\text{Number of animals Erica'each sister will get}=(48)/(3)$

$\text{Number of animals Erica'each sister will get}=16$

Therefore, Erica's each sister will get 16 stuffed toys.
