Question

Beth bought 35¢ stamps and 15¢ stamps at the post office. If she purchased 60 stamps at a cost of $17, how many of each kind did she buy?

Answer 1

She buys 20 Stamps of $0.15 and 40 Stamps of $0.35.

Explanation:

40 x 0.35 = 14

20 x 0.15 = 3

$14 + $3 = $17

40 ($0.35) + 20 (0.15) = 60 stamps
