It is as simple as 2 + 2 = 4.

    Divide  50.00  by (3+5) = 8:   = 6  = 6 .


    Round to maximum lesser integer. Get 6.


    ANSWER.  6 five-peso stamps.

Solved.

Again: it is as simple as 2 + 2 = 4.

For me, it is a mystery, for what reason people post such simple and self-obvious questions to the forum.
