Maggie's Stamp and Card Collection
How many stamps and cards does Maggie have left in her collection?
Maggie has 4 binders with 30 stamps in each binder. She also has 3 binders with 36 baseball cards in each binder. If she gives away 45 stamps to a friend, how many stamps and cards does she have left?
Answer:
The number of stamps and cards Maggie has left if she gives 45 stamps to a friend is 183
When Maggie gives 45 stamps to a friend, she still has a sizeable stamp and card collection remaining. Let's break down the numbers:
Maggie initially has:
- 4 binders * 30 stamps in each binder = 120 stamps
- 3 binders * 36 baseball cards in each binder = 108 baseball cards
After giving away 45 stamps to her friend, Maggie is left with:
120 stamps - 45 stamps = 75 stamps
Therefore, the total number of stamps and cards Maggie has left in her collection is:
75 stamps + 108 baseball cards = 183
Maggie still has 75 stamps and 108 baseball cards in her collection after being generous to her friend. What a fun collection she must have!
