You can put this solution on YOUR website! x+y=22
.15x+.20y=3.70
15x+20y=370
15x+15y=330
5y=40
y=8
x=14
Charles bought 14 of the $.15 stamps and 8 of the $.20 stamps..
----------------------------
x+y=8
4.50x+2.25y=24.75
2.25x+2.25y=18
2.25x=6.75
x=3
y=5
They bought 3 adult tickets and 5 childrens' tickets..
