Question

A man bought 3 paise and 5 paise denomination stamps for Rs 1.00. In total he bought 22 stamps. Find out total number of 3 paise stamps bought by him.

hintHint:

let the no. of 3 pairse stamps bought be x and no.of 5 pairse stamps bought be y
Total no. of stamps = no. of 3 paise stamps +no. of 5 paise stamps = 22
Total cost of stamps = 3 cross times no. of 3 paise stamps + 5 cross times no. of 5 paise stamps = 100 paise

The correct answer is: 3 pairse


    Ans :- There are 5 stamps of 3 paise.
    Explanation :-
    let the no. of 3 paise stamps bought be x and no. of 5 paise stamps bought be y
    Step 1:-Frame the equations from the given conditions.
    Total no. of stamps = no. of 3 paise stamps +no. of 5 paise stamps = 22
    x plus y equals 22— Eq1
    Total cost of stamps = 3 cross times no. of 3 paise stamps + 5cross times no. of 5 paise stamps = 100 paise
    3 x plus 5 y equals 100 — Eq2
    Step 2:- Eliminate y to find x
    Doing 5(Eq1) -(Eq2) to eliminate y
    5 left parenthesis x plus y right parenthesis minus left parenthesis 3 x plus 5 y right parenthesis equals 5 left parenthesis 22 right parenthesis minus 100
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow 5 x minus 3 x plus 5 y minus 5 y equals 110 minus 100
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow 2 x equals 10
    ∴ x = 5
    ∴ The no. of 3 paise stamps = x = 5 stamps
