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.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Options A and B are true

(A) Before the authority increases tolls on any of the area bridges, it is required by law to hold public hearings at which objections to the proposed increase can be raised.

B. (B) Whenever bridge tolls are increased, the authority must pay a private contractor to adjust the automated toll-collecting machines.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. In a developed society, it's imperative for the authority to hold public hearings with stake holders to air their views before the tolls are increased, this would enable the authority to carry out proper assessment to know both the positive and negative impact of increasing the toll.

B. Increasing the tolls implies that there must be adjustment in the automated tolling machines and this would incur cost on the authority, this contract would be executed by private contractors.
