The post office is selling 7 cent stamps and 9 cent stamps. If a package requires 66 cents to mail, how many 7 cent stamps will you need?

Respuesta :

If you did 9 x 6 stamps you would only need 2 x 7 stamps and you would have 2 cents left over

If a package requires 66 cents to mail, the number of 7 cent stamps that will be needed is 3.

Based on the information given, we have to get a number that first into both stamps correctly.

The equation will be:

7x + 9y = 66

7(3) + 9(5)

21 + 45 = 66

Since the value that's is gotten equals 66 cents.

Therefore, 3 7cents stamps are required.
