Let xx be the number of stamps Bernice received so we can write the proportion: 89=184x
Cross multiply: 8x=184(9)
8x=1656
x=207
So, Bernice received 207 stamps. Let yy be the number of stamps Cheryl received so we can write the proportion:
818=184y
Cross multiply:
8y=184(18)
8y=3312
y=414
So, Cheryl received 414 stamps.
