Number of stamps that Henry had before = 9 u
Number of stamps that Henry gave to Julian = 2 u
Number of stamps that Henry gave to Seth = 2 u
Number of stamps that Henry gave to Cole = 3 u
Number of stamps that Henry had left = 2 u
2 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 2 = 12
Number of stamps that Henry had at first
= 9 u
= 9 u x 12
= 108
