Question

meria and sara together had collected 550 foreign stamps. sara had 40 stamps more than double the number of stamps merin had. find the number of stamps each one collected..?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number of stamps Merin had be 'x'

Sara has 40 more than double of x

Sara has 2x+40 stamps

Total number of stamps is 550

2x+40+x=550

3x=510

x=170

Merin has 170 stamps

Sara has 380 stamps
