A is the right option! Because 0.40 should be in second equation with the x to represent the number of stamps multiply by 40 cents.
So first he has to divide both sides by 8
wat
he multiplied the right side by 8 but divided left by 8
that is wrong
answer is 4th option
divid not divide 56 by 8
Ratio is 6:5
6+5=11
Men: 6 parts of 11 = 3600
6=3600
1=x
X=3600/6
=600.
Women: 5 parts of 11
1 part = 600
5 parts = 600x5
=3000
You solve it by dividing -40 over -5 then you will get x=8
