3. Rudi, Sam and Teh had 162 stickers altogether. Rudi gave \( \frac{3}{10} \) of his stickers to Sam and \( \frac{1}{4} \) of his stickers to Ted. After that, all three boys had the same number of stickers Who had more stickers at first, Sam or Ted, and how many more?

Let's break this problem down in a fun way! Imagine Rudi, Sam, and Teh as sticker collectors at a fun fair, each starting with a certain number of stickers. After Rudi shared his stickers, they all ended up with equal amounts. This means Rudi gave away stickers and left himself with just the right number so that all could match up! To find out who started with more stickers, you can set up equations based on the number of stickers each had after the exchange. After some calculations, you’ll realize that Rudi had more stickers initially than Sam and Teh. The difference between Sam and Teh's starting totals will reveal who had the greater collection and by how much. Go on, give it a try!
