Tom, an avid stamp collector, has 3,000 stamps in his collection. He is very sad because he lost his job last Friday. His brother, Mike, and best friend, Harry, try to cheer him up with more stamps. Harry’s gift to Tom is 10 more stamps than twice Mike’s gift. If Mike has given Tom 17 stamps, how many stamps does Tom’s collection now have?
How many stamps did Mike give Tom? ** Twice the number of stamps given by Mike is 17 stamps * 2 = <<17*2=34>>34 stamps
How many stamps did Harry give Tom? ** Harry therefore gave Tom 10 stamps + 34 stamps = <<10+34=44>>44 stamps
How many stamps does Tom's collection now have? ** Combining both gifts gives a gift total of 44 stamps + 17 stamps = <<44+17=61>>61 stamps
How many stamps does Tom's collection now have? ** The total number of stamps in Tom’s collection is now 3000 stamps + 61 stamps = <<3000+61=3061>>3061 stamps
