Question

Xian and his cousin Kai both collect stamps. Xian has 60 stamps, and Kai has 76 stamps. The boys recently joined different stamp-collecting clubs. Xian's club will send him 12 new stamps per month. Kai's club will send him 8 new stamps per month. After how many months will Xian and Kai have the same number of stamps? How many stamps will each have?

Answer 1

`<b>HEY THERE!`

no. of stemps to Xian = 60
no. of stamps to Kai = 76

After joining the club:-

1st month
Xian = 60+12=72
Kai = 76+8 = 84

2nd month
Xian = 72 +12 = 84
Kai = 84 +8 = 92

3rd month
Xian = 84 + 12 = 96
Kai = 92 + 8 = 100

4th month
Xian = 96 +12 = 108
Kai = 100 + 8 = 108

So after four month they will have the equal stamps which were 108.

HOPE IT HELPS YOU.

Answer 2

Hi!

Xian - 60 stamps

Kai - 76 stamps

60 + 12 = 72

76 + 8 = 84

72 + 12 = 84

84 + 8 = 92

84 + 12 = 96

92 + 8 = 100

96 + 12 = 108

100 + 8 = 108

After how many months will Xian and Kai have the same number of stamps?

4 months

How many stamps will each have?

108 stamps
