Perry and Roshel share some stamps.
23 of Perry's stamps is equal to
25 of Roshel's stamps. Given that Roshel has 24 stamps more than Perry, how many stamps do they have altogether?
23 of Perry's stamps = 25 of Roshel's stamps
Number of Perry's stamps = 3 u
Number of Roshel's stamps = 5 u
Number of stamps that Roshel has more than Perry
= 5 u - 3 u
= 2 u
2 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 2 = 12
Total number of stamps
= 3 u + 5 u
= 8 u
= 8 x 12
= 96
Answer(s): 96
