If you had one to each of the most expensive stamps, you can't get to 80 cents total, so you know the total has to be 70 cents.<br /><br />The cost for the two extra stamps must be seven cents, so you have to use one more five cent stamp and one more two cent stamp.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153935609499338685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15628310.post-68456426702627451122010-05-13T16:49:14.341-04:002010-05-13T16:49:14.341-04:00nvrmindnvrmindAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15628310.post-70899266880918352142010-05-13T16:48:11.318-04:002010-05-13T16:48:11.318-04:00quick riddle, it says you are going to buy four of...quick riddle, it says you are going to buy four of eachAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15628310.post-35254735726116704342010-05-13T10:24:02.861-04:002010-05-13T10:24:02.861-04:00Aw...too slow.Aw...too slow.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14117563810484999900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15628310.post-77016293654252508192010-05-13T10:23:39.292-04:002010-05-13T10:23:39.292-04:003 x 1 cent
