Can you solve this?

Hi children,

Solve this question when you are free.

Question: Lala wants to arrange her stamps in columns on a card. If she puts 8 stamps in each
column, she will have 2 stamps left. If she puts 9 stamps in each column, she will be
short of 4 stamps. How many stamps does she have?
(adapted from: Challenging problems in Mathematics by Dr Y H Leong)

See you tomorrow.


Excited,
Miss Lee
