Answer:

Mason has

  • 16 20¢ stamps;
  • 25 3¢ stamps;
  • 40 49¢ stamps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of 20¢ stamps, then the number of 3¢ stamps is  x + 9.

Mason has 56 total 49¢ and 20¢ stamps, then the number of 49¢ stamps is 56 - x.

Amounts:

  • in 49¢: 49(56-x) cents;
  • in 20¢: 20x cents;
  • in 3¢: 3(x+9) cents.

Total amount:

  • 49(56-x)+20x+3(x+9);
  • $23.55.

Hence,

49(56-x)+20x+3(x+9)=2,355\\ \\2,744-49x+20x+3x+27=2,355\\ \\-49x+3x+20x=2,355-2,744-27\\ \\-26x=-416\\ \\26x=416\\ \\x=16

Mason has

  • 16 20¢ stamps;
  • 25 3¢ stamps;
  • 40 49¢ stamps.

A total of 8,644 people went to the football game. Of thos the visitors side. Of the people sitting on the visitor's side filled
lisov135 [29]
You divide 8644 by 8 which equals 1080.5, but since you can't have half of one person you approximate it to 1080 or 1081.

There are 81 red, blue and yellow
wel

Step-by-step explanation:

Here Given

Total counters = 81

red counters are 9 more than the yellow ones.

And Yellow counter = blue counter

So let the Yellow counter be x and as blue counter and yellow counter are same then blue counter will be also x

And by the question

Red counter = 9 + x

Now

9 + x + x + x = 81

9 + 3x = 81

3x = 81 - 9

3x = 72

x = 72 / 3

Therefore x = 24

Now

Red counters = 9 + 24 = 33

Blue counters = 24

Yellow counters = 24

Hope it helped :)

This would be 56 - p because 'fewer' indicates subtraction.
