Answer:

126

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of postcard with stamp on it =x

Out of 350 postcards, x has stamp on it.

Out of 75 postcards, 27 has stamp on it.

Expressing these as a ratio:

350:x=75:27

350/x=75/27

Cross multiply

75x=350*27

x=(350*27)/75

x= 126

Therefore, the the total number of postcards in the box with stamps on them is 126.

yawa3891 [41]

2/3 of 480 is 480 divided by 3 and that number times 2, which is 320. The man or woman probably used $60 of this to buy the tea set, which leaves them with $260.
