Answer:
980
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Stamps his collection have in total = x
According to the statement
He gives to the first grandchild = x/2
He gives to the second grandchild = x/4
He gives to the Third grandchild = x/5
He gives to the fourth grandchild =
x - x/2- x/4 -x/5
=
\frac{20x - 10x - 5x - 4x}{20}2020x−10x−5x−4x
=
\frac{x}{20}20x
but
\frac{x}{20} = 4920x=49
x = 980
Total Stamps philatelist have in his collection = x =980
