+26 Peter, James and Samuel shared some stamps. The number of stamps Peter had was 1/3 of the number of stamps Samuel had. Samuel had twice as many stamps as James. Samuel had 30 more stamps than James. How many stamps did they have altogether?
+313 Let Peter, James and Samuel have X, Y and Z numbers of stamps.
According to question,
X = Z/3
Z = 2Y
Z = 30 + Y
Now,
2Y = 30 + Y
Y = 30
Therefore,
Z = 30+30 = 60
X = 60/3 = 20
Together they have
X + Y + Z = 20+60+30 = 110
