using only 32 cents and 20 cent stamps charlie put 3 dollars and 36 cents on a package he sent to his sister he used twice as many 32 cent stamps as 20 cent stamps determine how many of each stamp he used

Answer 1

Using only 32 cents and 20 cent stamps Charlie put 3 dollars and 36 cents on a package he sent to his sister. He used 8- 32 cent stamps and 4-20 cent stamps.

Let x = Number of 20c stamps.

So, 2x = Number of 32c stamps.

20(x) + 32(2x) = 336

20x + 64x = 336

84x = 336

x = 4 (20c stamps)

2x = 8 (32c stamps).

Verify:

4 x 20 = 80 cents

8 x 32 = 256 cents

80+256 = $3.36.

Therefore, Charlie used 4 - 20 cent stamps and 8 - 32 cent stamps to sent the package to his sister.
