Answer:

  • 30 of 25 cent, 10 of 14 cent, 60 of 2 cent

Explanation:

  • Note: it must be typo 10.70, changed to 10.10

Number of 25 cent stamps = x

Number of 14 cent stamps = y

Number of 2 sent stamps = z

  • Total = $10.10 = 1010 ¢
  • x = 3y
  • z = 2x ⇒ z = 6y

Solving equation

  • 25x + 14y + 2z = 1010
  • 25(3y) + 14y + 12y = 1010
  • 75y + 26y = 1010
  • 101y = 1010
  • y = 1010/101
  • y = 10

The finding x and z

  • x = 3*10 = 30
  • z = 6*10 = 60
