Aliza Christian · Answer 1

The answer would be C, the number of stamps that Dave purchased.

Miley Miller · Answer 2

Divide $5.00➗$0.34 to find out how many stamps he can buy ... so he can buy 14 stamps.

14✖️.34=$4.76

Now subtract

5.00-4.76=.24

He will receive 0.24 cents

(C) the number of stamps that Dave purchased.
