Question

Sunny and Rashika collect stamps. Sunny has collected 3 times as many stamps as Rashika. Together, they have 304 stamps. How many stamps does each person have? Show your work.

Answer 1

• Sunny = 228 stamps
• Rashika = 76 stamps

Explanation:

Sunny has collected 3 times the stamps that Rashika has collected but in total they have both collected 304 stamps.

Assume that Rashika has x stamps. This would mean that Sunny has (3 * x) or 3x stamps.

In an equation this would be:

x + 3x = 304

4x = 304

x = 304/4

x = 76 stamps

Rashika has 76 stamps.

Sunny has 3 times that number:

= 76 * 3

= 228 stamps
