Lashawn used 44 stamps to mail a package. He used a combination of $0.50 stamps, $0.35 stamps, $0.02 stamps,

totaling $15.01. If the number of $0.35 stamps is nine less

than twice the number of $0.50 stamps, find the number of

each type of stamp.

Lashawn used 15, $0.50 stamps, 21, $0.35 stamps, and 8, $0.02 stamps to mail the package

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of stamps Lashawn used to mail the small package = 44

The price of the combination of 44 stamp = $15.01

The price categories of the stamps are $0.50, $0.35, and $0.02

The number of $0.35 stamps = 2 × The number of $0.50 stamps - 9

Let, x represent the number of $0.50 stamps Lashawn used to mail the package

We have;

The number of $0.50 stamps Lashawn used to mail the package = x

The number of $0.35 stamps = 2 × x - 9 = 2·x - 9

The number of $0.35 stamps = 2·x - 9

The number of $0.02 stamps = 44 - x - (2·x - 9) = 44 - x - 2·x + 9 = 53 - 3·x

The number of $0.02 stamps = 53 - 3·x

Which gives;

0.5 × x + 0.35 × (2·x - 9) + 0.02 × (53 - 3·x) = 15.01

0.5·x + 0.7·x - 3.15 + 1.06 - 0.06·x = 15.01

1.14·x - 2.09 = 15.01

1.14·x = 15.01 + 2.09 = 17.1

x = 17.1/1.14 = 15

x = 15

The number of $0.50 stamps Lashawn used to mail the package = x = 15 stamps

The number of $0.50 stamps Lashawn used = 15 stamps

The number of $0.35 stamps Lashawn used = 2·x - 9 = 2 × 15 - 9 = 21 stamps

The number of $0.02 stamps Lashawn used = 53 - 3·x = 53 - 3 × 15 = 8 stamps.

yes because they have the same amount of green and blur marbles.
