Answer:

Savannah collected 180 stamps and her brother collected 36 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of stamps Savannah brother collected

Savannah collected 5 times as many stamps as her brother, then

5x = number of stamps Savannah collected.

Total number of stamps = 216, then

[tex]x+5x=216\\ \\6x=216\\ \\x=\dfrac{216}{6}\\ \\x=36\\ \\5x=5\cdot 36=180[/tex]
