Answer: The total number of stamps is 132.

Explanation:

We know that Erin has 36 stamps.

Given that information, we can calculate how many stamps Julia has which is 2/3 as many stamps as Erin.

2/3 * 36 = 24

Julia has 24 stamps.

Julia also has 1/3 as many stamps as Robert.

24 = 1/3 * Robert

Robert = 72 stamps

Add the three numbers together to get your final answer

24 + 72 + 36 = 132
