 of the 30 children, or  = 10 children received 5 each, or a total 10(5) = 50 stamps
\n" );
document.write( " of the 30 children, or  = 18 children received 10 each, or a total 18(10) = 180 stamps
\n" );
document.write( "The remaining 2 (30 - 10 - 18) children received 15 each, or a total 2(15) = 30 stamps
\n" );
document.write( "Total number of stamps: 50 + 180 + 30 = 260 \n" );
