To find out how many pages Ted can fill in his scrapbook, we first need to determine the total number of stamps he has after receiving gifts and making purchases.
- Initial stamps: 875
- Stamps from grandparents: 332
- Stamps bought: 72
Now, let's calculate the total number of stamps:
\[ \text{Total stamps} = 875 + 332 + 72 \]
Calculating step-by-step:
\[ 875 + 332 = 1207 \] \[ 1207 + 72 = 1279 \]
So, Ted has a total of 1279 stamps.
Next, to find out how many pages he can fill, we divide the total number of stamps by the number of stamps that fit on each page (24 stamps per page):
\[ \text{Number of pages} = \frac{\text{Total stamps}}{\text{Stamps per page}} = \frac{1279}{24} \]
Calculating that gives:
\[ 1279 \div 24 \approx 53.2917 \]
Since Ted can only fill whole pages, we take the integer part of this result:
\[ \text{Number of complete pages} = 53 \]
Thus, Ted can fill 53 pages in his scrapbook.
