If 192 stamps in Diana's collection are Canadian stamps that were issued in 1940 or later
\(\frac{4}{5}*x - (\frac{3}{7}*\frac{4}{5}*x) = 192\)
\(\frac{4}{5}*x*(1-\frac{3}{7}) = 192\)
\(\frac{4}{5}*x*(\frac{4}{7}) = 192\)
\(x = 12 * 5 * 7\)
Number of stamps in her collection that are not Canadian = \(\frac{1}{5} * x = \frac{1}{5} * (12*5*7) = 12 * 7 = 84\)
Option A

Remember that the 3/7 fraction is for Canadian stamps BEFORE 1940. The 192 figure, however, is for Canadian stamps AFTER 1940.
Basically, 4/7 of total Canadian coins is equal to 192 coins.
To find the total number of Canadian coins, take 192 and first divide it by 4 and then multiply it by 7. In a sense, you're trying to change 4/7 into 7/7.
• 192 / 4 = 48
• 48 x 7 = [(50 x 7) – 14] = 336
Now that we know 336 stamps is equal to 4/5 of all stamps (which accounts for all the Canadian stamps), the remaining 1/5 would have to be non-Canadian.
To get 1/5 of all stamps, simply take 336 (4/5 of all stamps) and divide it by 4.
336/4 = 84
