Answer 2

Answer: C.) The total number of stamps is 35.

Explanation:

Given the table :

No of 45-cent stamp - - - No of 65-cent stamp

- - - - - - - 18 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 17

- - - - - - - 20 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 15

- - - - - - 22 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 13

- - - - - - 10 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 25

Verifying each option stated :

Total value of stamp:

Each row add up to 35. Example (18 + 17) = 35

(20 + 15) = 35

(22 + 13) =35

(10 + 25) = 35

Total value of stamp:

Using the first row:

45 cent = $0.45 ; 65 cent = $0.65

(10 * 0.45) + (25 * 0.65)

= $4.5 + $16.25 = $20.75

Not all rows add up to $19.15
