Question
Postage stamps cost 8.16, how many stamps did she get?
Solution
-
First, we need to find out how much Bill spent on stamps. Since each stamp costs 6.80.
-
Next, we need to find out how many stamps Melinda could buy with her $8.16. To do this, we divide 8.16 by the cost of one stamp, 0.68. This gives us approximately 12 stamps.
-
However, the problem states that Melinda had to get more stamps than Bill. Since Bill got 10 stamps, and 12 is more than 10, Melinda was able to get 12 stamps.
