In an activity, Wendy collected 280 stamps. She collected 8 times as many stamps as Nicole.
- How many stamps did Nicole collect?
- How many more stamps did Wendy collect than Nicole?
(a)
Number of stamps that Nicole collected = 1 u
Number of stamps that Wendy collected = 8 u = 280
8 u = 280
1 u = 280 ÷ 8 = 35
Number of stamps that Nicole collected
= 1 u
= 35
(b)
Number of stamps that Wendy collected more than Nicole
= 280 - 35
= 245
Answer(s): (a) 35; (b) 245
