Answer:

946

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Amy's stamp = 2437

Maria's stamps = 1347

Let Number of stamps Amy gave to Maria = x

After Giving stamps to Maria ; we have the equation :

Amy's stamps = 2437 - x

Maria's stamps = 1347 + x

(1347 + x) = 3(2437 - x)

1347 + x = 7311 - 3x

x + 3x = 7311 - 1347

4x = 5964

x = 5964 / 4

x = 1491

Number of stamps Amy has in the end :

2437 - 1491 = 946
