You buy 80 stamps for 17 dollars some stamps were 15 cents each and the others were 25 cents each. how many of each kind did you buy

30 of the 15 cent stamps and 50 of the 25 cent stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations, where x is the number of 15 cent stamps and y is the number of 25 cent stamps:

x + y = 80

0.15x + 0.25y = 17

Solve by substitution by rearranging the first equation:

x + y = 80

x = 80 - y

Substitute 80 - y as x into the second equation:

0.15x + 0.25y = 17

0.15(80 - y) + 0.25y = 17

12 - 0.15y + 0.25y = 17

12 + 0.1y = 17

Solve for y:

0.1y = 5

y = 50

Plug in 50 as y into the first equation, and solve for x:

x + y = 80

x + 50 = 80

x = 30

So, you bought 30 of the 15 cent stamps and 50 of the 25 cent stamps

the answer is a

step-by-step explanation:

because if you put 1 in to the square root of x it equals 300.
