Use the variable of x for the number of 37 cent stamps.

Use the variable of y for the 23 cent stamps.

We know that .37x + .23y = 4.85

We also know that x+y = 15

Subtract y from both sides of the equation.

So x = 15 -y

Substitute (15-y) in the first equation.

.37(15-y) + .23y = 4.85

5.55 -.37y + .23y = 4.85

5.55 - .14y = 4.85

5.55 = 4.85 + .14y

5.55 - 4.85 = .14y

.7 = .14y

.7/.14 = y

5 = y Therefore x = 10

.37(10) + .23(5) = 4.85
