Neave and Gem share some stamps.
23 of Neave's stamps is equal to
215 of Gem's stamps. Given that Gem has 12 stamps more than Neave, how many stamps do they have altogether?
23 of Neave's stamps = 215 of Gem's stamps
Number of Neave's stamps = 3 u
Number of Gem's stamps = 15 u
Number of stamps that Gem has more than Neave
= 15 u - 3 u
= 12 u
12 u = 12
1 u = 12 ÷ 12 = 1
Total number of stamps
= 3 u + 15 u
= 18 u
= 18 x 1
= 18
Answer(s): 18
