    112 stickers

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x and y represent the number of stickers Sheryl and Jennifer were given at first.

    Sheryl and Jennifer were given the same number of sticker at first.

    So;

    x = y ... 1

    After jennifer used 84 stickers, sherly had 4 times as many stickers as jennifer.

    x = 4 (y-84)

    x = 4y - 336 ... 2

    Substituting equation 1 into 2

    y = 4y - 336

    Solving for y;

    4y - y = 336

    3y = 336

    y = 336/3

    y = 112

    Therefore, sherly was given 112 stickers at first
