Albert and Shannon share some stamps.
37 of Albert's stamps is equal to
313 of Shannon's stamps. Given that Shannon has 12 stamps more than Albert, how many stamps do they have altogether?
37 of Albert's stamps = 313 of Shannon's stamps
Number of Albert's stamps = 7 u
Number of Shannon's stamps = 13 u
Number of stamps that Shannon has more than Albert
= 13 u - 7 u
= 6 u
6 u = 12
1 u = 12 ÷ 6 = 2
Total number of stamps
= 7 u + 13 u
= 20 u
= 20 x 2
= 40
Answer(s): 40
