To solve this problem, we can use the number line starting from the first column.
First column: 14 stamps
Second column: 14 - 2 = 12 stamps
Third column: 12 - 3 = 9 stamps
Now, we can add up the number of stamps on each column:
14 + 12 + 9 = 35 stamps
Therefore, there are 35 stamps on the page.
Use the number line to help you solve the problem.
A stamp collector has 3 columns of stamps on a page.
The first column has 14 stamps.
The second column has 2 less than the first column.
The third column has 3 less than the second column.
