Question 337596: James bought equal numbers of 50-paisa and 75-paisa stamps. If the total cost of the stamps was Tk. 50.00, what was the total number of stamps bought? Answer by mananth(16949) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let the number of stamps of each denomination be x
50x+75x=5000
125x= 5000
divide by 125
x= 5000/125
x= 400
..
Total stamps bought = 800
