You went to the post office with $20, you mailed a package for $3.67. At most, how many $.37 stamps could you have purchased??

Given:
Total amount = $20
Spent amount = $3.67
Price of a stamp = $.37
Now,
Total money left = $20 - $3.67
= $16.33
Now,
Total stamps that can be purchased = total money left / price of a stamp
= $16.33 / $.37
= 44.13513514
= 44

So, he could purchase 44 stamps

20-3.67=16.33
then u do 16.33 divided by .37 and would get 44.1351351535....
so the most u can get is 44 stamps
