Answer:

1. 7 stamps for $3.15 → $0.45/stamp

Explanation:

Calculate the price per stamp for each scenario:

1)
(3.15)/(7)=0.45/stamp

2)
(3.20)/(8)=0.40/stamp

3)
(4.10)/(10)=0.41/stamp

4)
(4.80)/(16)=0.3/stamp

Therefore the first scenario of stamps will be the worth the most per stamp, as it has a higher cost than the rest.
