Farida bought 20 stamps consisting of 20 sen stamps and 60 sen stamps. The total cost of the stamps is RM8.80. How many 20 sej stamps did Farida buy?

# of 20cent stamps = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the  number 20cent stamps be = x

Let the number 60 cents stamps be = y

Total number of stamps => 20 = x + y ( 1 )

Total cost of the stamps = 8.80

That is, 0.20x + 0.60y = 8.80 ( 2 )

      ( 2 ) => 20x + 60y = 880

            => x + 3y = 44

           =>  x = 44 - 3y

Substitute x in  ( 1 ) => x  +  y = 20

                                 44 - 3y + y = 20

                                     - 2y = 20 - 44

                                     - 2y = - 24

                                       2y = 24

                                       y = 12

Substitute y = 12 in  ( 1 ) => x + y = 20

                                         x + 12 = 20

                                            x = 8

your answer would be b
