=> 30% means 0.30
=> "of"means "times"
So you can write (0.30) times (collection) = 12
Divide each side by 0.30 : Collection = (12) / (0.3)
= 40

Julie went to the post office and bought both 41-cent stamps and 26-cent postcards. She spent $51.40. The number of stamps was 20 more than twice the number of postcards. How many of each did she buy?
