Answer:
José has 49 used stamps
Step-by-step explanation:
7 used stamps for every 4 new stamps
To solve this type of problem, we can use a ratio
7 : 4 ratio
He has 28 new stamps
7 : 4 = x : 28
Ratios can be written as fractions
Cross multiply
4x = 7(28) = 196
Divide by 4 on both sides
x = 49

To solve this equation we have to apply the property of the logarithm of the base,
Thus, we can apply the natural logarithm - whose base is e, to both sides of the equation,
Now we apply the property of the logarithm of a power,
In our equation,
Then divide both sides by 4 and solve,
The solution to this equation is x = 1.2226, rounded to four decimal places.
