Answer:
25 cent stamps = 13 and 29 cent stamps = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 25 cent stamps and y = 29 cent stamps
x + y = 28......x = 28 - y
0.25x + 0.29y = 7.60
0.25(28 - y) + 0.29y = 7.60
7 - 0.25y + 0.29y = 7.60
-0.25y + 0.29y = 7.60 - 7
0.04y = 0.60
y = 0.60 / 0.04
y = 15 <===== 29 cent stamps
x + y = 28
x + 15 = 28
x = 28 - 15
x = 13 <===== 25 cent stamps
lets check it...
0.25x + 0.29y = 7.60
0.25(13) + 0.29(15) = 7.60
3.25 + 4.35 = 7.60
7.60 = 7.60 (correct..it checks out)

Answer:
the original price of the book is $20
Step-by-step explanation:
sometimes in a question, they put things in the question that don't actually help us get to the answer. usually we ignore it, but i'm going to list them out just to help you a bit more.
<u>Things that are useless:</u>
- his name is Jarred (his name could be gary, it doesn't affect us getting the answer)
- he went to a bookstore (he could've gone to the library, it wont affect us getting to the answer)
- the book is softcover (it could be any type of book, wont affect us getting to the answer)
- the item is a book (it could be anything that he bought, wont affect us getting to the answer.)
<u>Things that are helpful:</u>
- the book was on sale (helps us know that the price was reduced)
- the book was on sale 10% (helps us know how much it was reduced by)
- he spent $18 for the reduced price (helps us know how much he spent)
Ok, now that we know those, let's work on the question.
let b be the original book price
we need to find 10% so we have to use 90% (because 100 - 10 = 90)
if we needed to find 20% we would use 80% (because 100 - 20 = 80)
and so on.
90% of b = 18 (90% of the og. book price equals 18)
90/100 × b = 18 (write a correct equation and make the percent a fraction)
9/10 × b = 18 (simplify both sides of the equation)
9 × b = 180 (multiply both sides of the equation to get rid of fraction)
b = 20 (divide both sides of the equ. to get b by itself)
the original price of the book is $20
hope this helped :D
good luck my friend
