Answer 1

Answer:

Let n be the number of 25 cent stamps.Then, 28 - n must be the number of 29 cent stamps.Tim paid $7.60 the stamps.

0.25n + 0.29(28 - n) = 7.60

This means that n stamps at 25 cents a piece plus (28 - n) stamps at 29 cents a piece sum to $7.60.Solve for m.

0.25n + 8.12 - 0.29n = 7.60

-0.04n = -0.52

n = 13

So, Tim bought 13 25-cent stamps and 28 - 13 = 15 29-cent stamps
