Answer:

12 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mario:

12 stamps per month

Since January

Karen :

18 stamps per month

Starts on july

Number of stamps collected by Mario till the end of June :

12 * 6 = 72 stamps

For Mario :

72 + 12x

For karen:

18x

Where x is the number of months after karen starts :

Equate both equations

72 + 12x = 18x

72 = 18x - 12x

72 = 6x

x = 72/6

x = 12

After 12 months

Number of months after karen starts, will they have same amount of stamp
