Question

Riya and Manoj have x stamps each. Samuel has two times the number of stamps that Riya and Manoj have together. Which of these represents the TOTAL number of stamps?
A. 2x
B. 4x
C. 6x
D. 8x​

Answer 1

Given:

No. of stamps with Riya = "x"

No. of stamps with Manoj = "x"

Samuel has two times the number of stamps that Riya and Manoj have together

To find:

Which of the options represents the total no. of stamps?

Solution:

So,

The number of stamps together Riya and Manoj have = $x + x = 2x$

Now, we are given that Samuel has twice the no. of stamps that Riya and Manoj together have, therefore, we get,

No. of stamps with Samuel = $2 \times 2x$ = $4x$

∴ Total no. of stamps = $2x + 4x = \bold{6x}$

Thus, option (C): 6x repesents the total no. of stamps.
