Tim and Ivory share some stamps.
58 of Tim's stamps is equal to
512 of Ivory's stamps. Given that Tim has 24 stamps less than Ivory, how many stamps do they have altogether?
58 of Tim's stamps = 512 of Ivory's stamps
Number of Tim's stamps = 8 u
Number of Ivory's stamps = 12 u
Number of stamps that Tim has less than Ivory
= 12 u - 8 u
= 4 u
4 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 4 = 6
Total number of stamps
= 8 u + 12 u
= 20 u
= 20 x 6
= 120
Answer(s): 120
