Suppose Congcong collected x stamps and Xiaoxiao collected y stamps.
According to the conditions in the question, the following two equations can be listed:
x + y = 171 (171 stamps collected)
x = 4y (1/4 of Congcong's stamps is equal to 1/5 of Xiaoxiao's stamp collection)
Substituting x from the first equation into the second equation gives:
4y + y = 171
5y = 171
y = 342
Substituting y = 342 into the first equation gives:
x + 342 = 171
x = 1378
Therefore, Congcong collected 1378 stamps and Xiaoxiao collected 342 stamps.

Xiaoling and Xiaojun were both collecting stamps. After Xiaoling gave Xiaojun eight stamps, they both had the same number of stamps. Xiaoling's original number of stamps remained unchanged. This was because the face value of the stamp multiplied by the number of stamps was equal to the total number of stamps. After Xiaoling gave Xiaojun 8 stamps, the total number of stamps was the same for both of them, so Xiaoling's original number of stamps remained unchanged.
The story is probably about the Cookie Monster and its adventure with a cookie tree. Maybe the Cookie Monster discovers a tree full of cookies and has all kinds of fun trying to get the cookies, like climbing the tree or using some clever tricks.
I was in the kitchen one day, feeling a bit bored. Then I remembered that I had all the stuff to make cookies. I started by creaming the butter and sugar together. It was a bit of a workout for my arm. Next, I added the eggs and vanilla. After that, I slowly added the flour and baking soda. I decided to put in some raisins for a different taste. I shaped the dough into balls and put them on the baking sheet. When they were baked, they were a little crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Yum!
Suppose that Xiaoling's original number of stamps was x, and Xiaojun's original number of stamps was y.
According to the meaning of the question, after Xiao Ling gave Xiao Jun 8 stamps, the number of stamps between the two of them was the same. The following equation could be listed:
x + 8 = y
And because Xiaoling gave Xiaojun 8 stamps, the two of them had the same number of stamps, so the following equation could be listed:
x - 8 = y - 8
Adding 8 to x in the first equation gives:
x + 8 = x + 8 + 8
After the reduction, it was obtained:
2x = 16
Solve the equation:
x = 8
Substituting x = 8 into the first equation gives:
8 + 8 = y
Solve the equation:
y = 6
Therefore, Xiaoling's original number of stamps was 8, and Xiaojun's original number of stamps was 6.
Therefore, Xiaoling's original stamps were 8 - 6 = 2 more than Xiaojun's.
