Answer 2

Number of stamp Amanda has = 112

Explanation:

Given:

Total number of stamp = 364

Number of stamp Lyle has = x

Number of stamp Shaquille has = [1/2]x

Number of stamp Amanda has = [2/3]x

Find:

Number of stamp Amanda has

Computation:

Total number of stamp = Number of stamp Lyle has + Number of stamp Shaquille has + Number of stamp Amanda has

Total number of stamp = x + [1/2]x + [2/3]x

364 = 13x / 6

x = 168

So,

Number of stamp Amanda has = [2/3]168

Number of stamp Amanda has = 112
