Number of stamps that Mark had before = 12 u
Number of stamps that Mark gave to Ken = 1 u
Number of stamps that Mark gave to Vaidev = 2 u
Number of stamps that Mark gave to Wesley = 2 u
Number of stamps that Mark had left = 7 u
7 u = 35
1 u = 35 ÷ 7 = 5
Number of stamps that Mark had at first
= 12 u
= 12 u x 5
= 60
