Let x = Daisy stickers
Let y = Henry stickers
According to the problem:
(1/4)y = (2/3)x
And understanding the first statement, we can say that Henry has more stickers than Daisy:
y - x = 135
Substituting the second equation to first (with y = 135 + x);
(1/4)(135 + x) = (2/3)x
[ (1/4)(135 + x) = (2/3)x ] * 12
3(135 + x) = 8x
405 + 3x = 8x
405 = 5x
x = 81 stickers (Daisy)
y = 135+x = 216 stickers (Henry)
