Rahul needs stamps of ₹25 for his parcel. He went to the post office. Only stamps of ₹1, ₹2, ₹5 and ₹10 were there at that time. Use these stamps and write any three different ways by which we can make ₹25

Answer 1

By using available stamps, he can make stamps worth ₹25 in the following ways:

(a) 25 stamps of ₹1
₹1 × 25 = ₹25

(b) 12 stamps of ₹2 and 1 stamp of ₹1
₹2 × 12 + ₹1 × 1 = ₹24 + ₹1 = ₹25

(c) 5 stamps of ₹5
₹5 × 5 = ₹25
