Jen has 12 stamps.

Blackburn · Answer 2

Answer: Jen has 27 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of stamps Jack has be y.

Since Jen has 3times of Jack stamps, Jack's stamp is 3*y which is 3y.

Jack's stamp+Jen's stamp = 36

y+3y = 36

4y = 36

y = 9

So Jack has 9 stamps and Jen has 9*3 which is 27 stamps.
