Answer 1

He could buy 12 postcards for $3.36.
and 8 letters for $3.36

Answer 2

0.28 - Stamp
0.44 - Letter
0.72 - Both Letter and stamp
If we subtract 0.72 until we get 0 or no longer can subtract it from the 3.60

3.60
-0.72
---------
2.88
-0.72
---------
2.16
-0.72
--------
1.44
-0.72
--------
0.72
-0.72
--------
000

So he can send only 5 postcards and letters
