Solution

To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:

  1. We know that Lena bought 20 snowflake stamps.
  2. She bought 7 more truck stamps than snowflake stamps. So, she bought 20 + 7 = 27 truck stamps.
  3. She bought 6 fewer rose stamps than truck stamps. So, she bought 27 - 6 = 21 rose stamps.
  4. To find out how many stamps Lena bought in all, we need to add up the number of each type of stamp. So, 20 (snowflake stamps) + 27 (truck stamps) + 21 (rose stamps) = 68 stamps.

So, Lena bought 68 stamps in all.
