"Shaquille, Lyle, and Amanda collect stamps. Shaquille has one-half the number of stamps that Lyle has. Amanda has two-thirds as many stamps as Lyle. Together they have 364 stamps. How many stamps does Amanda own?" Please help me :c

Answer:

112 stamps

Explanation:

Shaquille and Amanda's stamps are described in terms of Lyle's, so:

Lyle's = 6x 6x+3x+2x=364

Shaquille's = 3x 13x=364

Amanda's = 4x x=28

Lyle has 168 stamps, Shaquille has 84, and Amanda has 112. 168+84+112=364
