X - number of 5 c stamps,
y - number of 15 c stamps,
z - number of 25 c stamps.
The system:
x + y + z = 160
y = 3 x
0.05 x + 0.15 y + 0.25 z = 25  / *  100
------------------------------------------------- 
x + y + z = 160
y = 3 x
5 x + 15 y + 25 z = 2500  / : 5
----------------------------------------
x + 3 x + z = 160
x + 3 y + 5 z = 500
-------------------------
4 x + z = 160    / * ( - 1 )
10 x + 5 z = 500  / : 5
------------------------------
- 4 x - z = - 160
+
  2 x + z =  100
-------------------------
- 2 x = - 160
x = 30,  y = 90
z = 160 - 120 = 40
Answer:
-  30 of 5 c stamps,
-  90 of 15 c stamps,
-  40 of 25 c stamps.

Hiyaa there ;)
ycow [4]

Originally, the diameter was 110 m, so the radius was 55 m. To get the area, you square the radius and multiply by π. That's 55^2 * π, making the original area 3025π m^2.

After, the diameter decreased to 107 m, making the radius 53.5 m. Again, you square the radius and multiply by π, making the new area 2862.25π m^2.

Subtract the 2862.25π from 3025π, giving you a total reduction of 162.75π square meters.

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, that's 511.29 square meters.
