From the given information we can formulate the following relationship:


(x)/(34)=(1)/(4)

Where x is the number of bags required in order to get 34 stickers.

From this expression, we can solve for x, to get:


\begin{gathered} (x)/(34)=(1)/(4) \\ (x)/(34)*34=(1)/(4)*34 \\ x*(34)/(34)=(34)/(4) \\ x*1=8.5 \\ x\approx9 \end{gathered}

Then, to get 34 stickers, we need 9 bags
