Question 1184902
<br>
Your answer is right -- so either the problem is faulty or you have copied the numbers wrong.<br>
let x = # of 60-cent stamps
then 2x = # of 30-cent stamps
and x+6 = # of 5-cent stamps<br>
The total value was $8.85 = 885 cents:<br>
{{{60(x)+30(2x)+5(x+6) = 885}}}
{{{60x+60x+5x+30 = 885}}}
{{{125x=855}}}
{{{x=855/125 = 6.84}}}<br>
