Jennifer went to the post office for stamps. She bought the same number of 8 cents stamps and 10 cents stamps. She also bought as many 2 cents stamps as both of the other two combined. How many of each kind did she get if she paid a total of $4.40 for them all?

If she bought x 8-cent stamps, then
8x + 10x + 2*2x = 440
so then do 8x+10x+4x=22x and 440 / 22= 20
since x=20, he bought 20 8-cent stamps and 20 10-cent stamps and 40 2-cent stamps
20*8= 160, 20*10= 200, 40*2= 80, and 160+200+80= 240

therefore what Steve said was wrong
Happy holidays to all of you :)
How come 160 + 200 + 80 = 240?? Fix ur math, bro.

I apologize for the error in my previous response. You are correct, the correct calculation should be:

20 * 8 = 160
20 * 10 = 200
40 * 2 = 80

Therefore, the correct total is 160 + 200 + 80 = 440. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
Idk….
