Answer:

  • not possible:  1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 11
  • possible: all others

Step-by-step explanation:

Obviously, all multiples of 3 and 7 can be paid.

1 cent can be added by adding a 7-cent stamp and taking away two 3-cent stamps. 2 cents can be added by adding three 3-cent stamps and taking away one 7-cent stamp. Hence any value more than 7 +2(3) = 13 cents can always be accommodated.

Amounts that are impossible:

  1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 11 cents

All other positive integer amounts are possible.

Anettt [7]
The answer to this question is "you gained profit". The amount of money you gain from selling the stocks now is higher compared to the amount you spent a year ago. The amount you gain from the shares is ($62.25) x 723 = $45006.75. The amount you spent last year is ($47.75) x 723 = $34523.25. The difference between the values is $10483.47. Thus, you gained $10483.47.
