Question

Tina gave away all her stamps collection. She gave 1156 stamps to her
sister and the remaining stamps were distributed equally among Siya,
Venu and Irfan. If each got 1024 stamps, how many stamps did Tina have
in the beginning?

Answer 1

Answer:

Tina has 4228 stamps in the beginning.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assumption,

Let the number of stamps Tina had, in the beginning, be 'x'

Given,

Tina gave n1 = 1156 stamps to her sister,

Then she distributed the remaining stamps equally among Siya, Venu, and Irfan (n2)

And n2 = 1024 stamps

To find,

The number of stamps Tina had in the beginning (x).

Calculation,

We know that the stamps given to her sister + total stamps distributed among Siya, Venu, and Irfan are equal to the total stamps collected by TIna.

i.e. n1 + 3n2 = x

⇒ 1156 + 3(1024) = x

⇒ 1156 + 3072 = x

⇒ 4228 = x

Therefore, Tina has 4228 stamps in the beginning.
