You can put this solution on YOUR website! Donna bought Php 25 stamps and Php 50 stamps amounting to Php 1,750. If she has a total of 45 stamps, how many of each kind of stamp did she buy?
--------------
Quantity:: t + f = 45 stamps
Value:: 25t + 50f = 1750 Php
--------------------------------
Modify for elimination::
t + f = 45
t + 2f = 70
----
Subtract and solve for "f":
f = 25 (# of Php 50 stamps)
---
t = 45-25 = 20 (# of Php 25 stamps)
------------
