A Selena had 204 stamps in her collection. She bought 47 more stamps. If she gave 38 stamps to her brother, how many stamps does Selena have now?

Explanation

To find out how many stamps Selena has now, we need to follow these steps:

1. Start with the initial number of stamps Selena had: 204 stamps.

2. Add the number of stamps she bought: 47 stamps.

3. Subtract the number of stamps she gave to her brother: 38 stamps.

Let's calculate it step by step:

1. Initial number of stamps: 204 stamps

2. Number of stamps she bought: +47 stamps

204 + 47 = 251 stamps

3. Number of stamps she gave to her brother: -38 stamps

251 - 38 = 213 stamps
