there are 7 stamps left over. At least how many stamps does Lala have?
--------------------------------------------------------

First part of the condition means that the number of stamps Lala has is multiple of 3*5*8 = 120.

The second part means that we need to find the multiple of 120, which leaves the remainder 7 when is divided by 11.

I found that 120*4 leaves the remainder 7 when it is divided by 11.

Answer. 480 stamps.
