Nora, Raeann, Ben and Marion shared some stamps. Nora and Raeann took

Number of stamps that Raeann had is repeated. Make the number of stamps that Raeann had the same. LCM of 2 and 1 is 2.
Number of stamps that Marion had = 8 u
8 u = 96
1 u = 96 ÷ 8 = 12
Total number of stamps
= 15 u
= 15 x 12
= 180
Answer(s): 180
