Final answer:
To solve this problem, convert the amount of dollars into cents and then divide this by the cost per stamp. In this case, $10 converts to 1000 cents and dividing by 35 (cost of each stamp) gives you approximately 28.57. Rounded down, you can buy 28 stamps with $10.
Step-by-step explanation:
The subject of this question is mathematics, and the problem requires you to solve a real-world usage of division. Specifically, the student wants to know how many 35 cent stamps they can buy with $10.00. To solve this, you would need to convert dollars into cents to match the format of the stamp price. That gives us 1000 cents (since $10 * 100 = 1000 as there are 100 cents in a dollar).
Next, you would divide this total number of cents by the cost of each stamp. So the calculation would be 1000 cents / 35 cents per stamp, which equals approximately 28.57. As you cannot purchase a fraction of a stamp, you should round this number down to the nearest whole stamp.
Therefore, with $10.00, you can buy 28 35 cent stamps.
