Peter had 400 stamps. 5/8 of then are u. s. stamps and the reat ate canadian stamps. he gave 1/5 of the u. s. stamps to his friend. how many stamps did he have left?

350 Stamps left

Step-by-step explanation:

First do 5/8*400= 250

Then take 1/5 of it 1/5*250

You end up with 50 so do 250-50= 200 and add the 150 Canadian stamps to get a total of 350 stamps.

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
