\n" ); document.write( "Let us assume for a minute that all the stamps cost  45 cents each. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then the total cost would be  50*45 = 2250 cents = $22.50,  which is in  $2 less than  $24.50.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It is clear that the difference is due to presence of  $0.65  stamps that we intently counted as  0.45. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It is also clear that the number of these  $0.65  stamps is  \"2%2F%280.65-0.45%29\" = \"2%2F0.20\" = 10 to compensate the difference.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It gives the answer:  10 stamps in  65 cents  and  50-10 = 40  stamps in  45 cents.\r
