Question

Matt bought a collection of 1660 stamps. He needs to choose between an album with large pages and an album with small pages to hold his stamps. The number of stamps per page for both album sizes is shown in the table. How many of each type of page will Matt need to hold all 1660 stamps?

Answer 1

Answer:Martin has 2212 stamps.

Explanation:

Given,

Total number of pages = 48,

Out of which first 20 pages each have 35 stamps in 5 rows,

So, the stamps in first 20 pages = 35 × 20 = 700,

Now, the remaining number of pages = 48 - 20 = 28,

Also, each remaining page has 54 stamps,

So, the total stamps contained by remaining pages = 54 × 28 = 1512,

Hence, total stamps = stamps in 20 pages + stamps in 28 pages

= 700 + 1512

= 2212
