Answer:
15 two-dollar stamps and 5 five-dollar stamps
Step-by-step explanation: By using solve by assuming method:
Total spent=$55
20 pieces
Assume all are five-dollar stamps
20×$5=$100
$100-$55=$45
five-dollar stamp's price - two dollar stamp's price
$5-$2=$3
So, $45÷$3= 15 two-dollar stamps
Therefore, 20-15=5 five-dollar stamps
