Answer:Steven used 9 $0.02 stamps and 6 $0.10 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

let number of $0.02 stamp  be =x

let number of $0.10 stamp  be =y

so that the number of stamps used can be expressed as

x+y=15

and the total price of stamps used equaling  $0.78 be expressed as

0.02x + 0.10y =0.78

Solving

x+y=15----1

0.02x + 0.10y =0.78---2

from equation 1 ,  x =15-y, putting the value of x into equation 2

0.02(15-y) + 0.10y =0.78

0.3 -0.02y + 0.10y  = 0.78

0.3 + 0.08y=0.78

0.08y=0.78-0.3

y=0.48/0.08 =6

y =6 stamps

 Putting bthe value of  y =6 into equation 1

x+6=15

x=15-6 =9

Steven used 9 $0.02 stamps and 6 $0.10 stamps
