Izzati, Ai Ling, Rina and Susan share some stamps. Izzati and Ai ling take 1/4 and 1/8 of the total number of stamps respectively. After that, Rina takes 7/10 of the remaining stamps. Eventually, all the remaining stamps are taken by Susan. If Susan gets 42 stamps, find the total number of stamps originally.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the total stamp is x

According to the question

Izzati's stamps is 1/4

Ailing's number of stamps is 1/8

X= 1/4 x 1/8 = 5/8 - the remaining stamps.

Rina’s number of stamps is 7/10 x 5/8 = 35/80 x

5/8 x 35/80 = 15/80 - (Susan's stamps)

According to the question

15/80 = 42

X: 224

the total number of stamps originally is 224.
