3000 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Chris and Josh have 1800 stamps

Josh and Jessica have 2200 stamps

Jessica and Chris have 2000 stamps

Suppose Chris, Josh, and Jessica have x,y, \text{and}\ z stamps

\therefore x+y=1800\quad \ldots(i)\\\Rightarrow y+z=2200\quad \ldots(ii)\\\Rightarrow z+x=2000\quad \ldots(iii)\\\text{Add (i), (ii), and (iii)}\\\Rightarrow 2(x+y+z)=1800+2200+2000\\\Rightarrow x+y+z=3000

Thus, all three have 3000 stamps

50 more people chose dogs over cats

Step-by-step explanation:

55 divided 100= 0.55 x 200= 110

30 divided 100= 0.3 x 200= 60

To find out how many more people chose dogs over cats:

110-60= 50

I did this because it said "How many more" Which meant the difference.

I hope this helps 'w'
