Answer 1

Answer:

There were 892 number of stamps in each type.

Step-by-step explanation:

The post office had an equal number of each of 4 types of stamps.

There was a total of 1,784 stamps.

As there were same amount of each type of stamps, so dividing total number of stamps with total types of stamps will give the number of stamp in each type.

So,

$\text{Number of stamp in each type}=\dfrac{\text{Total number of stamps}}{\text{Number of types of stamps}}$

$=\dfrac{1784}{4}$

$=892$

Therefore, there were 892 number of stamps in each type.
