Perry and Jade share some stamps.
511 of Perry's stamps is equal to
514 of Jade's stamps. Given that Perry has 18 stamps less than Jade, how many stamps do they have altogether?
511 of Perry's stamps = 514 of Jade's stamps
Number of Perry's stamps = 11 u
Number of Jade's stamps = 14 u
Number of stamps that Perry has less than Jade
= 14 u - 11 u
= 3 u
3 u = 18
1 u = 18 ÷ 3 = 6
Total number of stamps
= 11 u + 14 u
= 25 u
= 25 x 6
= 150
Answer(s): 150
