They both have red white and blue is this is not the right answer I am sorry I cannot see if this is multiple choice.

x = number of 1-cent stamps
y = number of 8-cent stamps
z = number of 12-cent stamps
We have 31 stamps all together, so x+y+z = 31.
"I have 4 more 1-cent stamps than 8-cent stamps" means we have the equation x = y+8. Whatever y is, add 8 to it to get x. Solve for y to get y = x-8.
You also have "twice as many one cent stamps as 12 cent stamps", so x = 2z. Solving for z gets you z = 0.5x
-------------
x+y+z = 31
x+x-8+z = 31 ... y replaced with x-8
x+x-8+0.5x = 31 ... plug in z = 0.5x
2.5x-8 = 31
2.5x = 31+8
2.5x = 39
x = 39/2.5
x = 15.6
Your teacher made a typo somewhere because we should get a positive whole number result for x (since x is a count of how many 1-cent stamps we have).
You can use ruler and stuff and yea
Answer:
The main answer: $4.84
Step-by-step explanation:
County A: Multiply the price by the sales tax to find out how much money the sales tax will add. Remember to convert percent to decimal!
$75 * 0.0725 = $5.4375
Add the original price and the sales tax.
$75 + $5.4375 = $80.4375
County B: Multiply the price by the sales tax to find out how much money the sales tax will add. Remember to convert percent to decimal!
$70 * 0.08 = $5.6
Add the original price and the sales tax.
$70 + $5.6 = $75.6
Then take the difference.
80.4375 – 75.6 = 4.8375
Round to the nearest hundredth: $4.84
