Question

Of the stamps in a book, 5/12 came from Brian's collection and 24 came from Amy's. Of the rest, 15 were Jo's, 3/10 were Carl's and 27 were purchased. How many stamps are there in the book? HELPPP​

Answer 1

Algebraic expressions are mathematical statements that consist of both number(s) and alphabet(x). Thus the number of stamps in the book is 66$\frac{43}{60}$ (67).

Algebraic expressions are mathematical statements that consist of both number(s) and alphabet(x). Majorly, the alphabet in the expression is referred to as the unknown value which has to be determined.

When the power of any of the alphabets contained in an algebraic expression is more than one, then it can be referred to as a polynomial.

In the given question, let the number of stamps in the book be represented by N.

So that;

N - 5/12 + 24 + 15 + 3/10 + 27 = 0

N - (5/12 + 24 + 15 + 3/10 + 27) = 0

N - $\frac{8006}{120}$ = 0

N - 66$\frac{43}{60}$ = 0

N = 66$\frac{43}{60}$

   = 66.72

N ≅ 67

Therefore the number of stamps in the book is approximately 67.
