Use the letter d and the number 100 as required to write an expression that tells the number of 3-cent stamps that can be produced for d dollars.

OpenStudy (mrnood):

how many cents in $d ?

OpenStudy (okdutchman7):

What do you mean?

OpenStudy (mrnood):

d is used to represent a number (like you normally might use x) if you had d dollars - how many cents would you have?

OpenStudy (okdutchman7):

d/100 cents

OpenStudy (okdutchman7):

@MrNood

OpenStudy (mrnood):

Not right I 'm afraid if you had $1 - you 'd have 100c if you had $2 - you 'd have 200c if you had d dollars then how many cents?

OpenStudy (okdutchman7):

1/100 d

OpenStudy (okdutchman7):

@MrNood

OpenStudy (mrnood):

No You have MORE cents than dollars $1 = 100c

OpenStudy (okdutchman7):

d is an abstract number so c doesn't represent cents

OpenStudy (mrnood):

I don't have a symbol for cents on my kb sine I am in Europe I am using c to represent cents if oyu had $d how many cents would oyu have

OpenStudy (okdutchman7):

1/100 d cents

OpenStudy (mrnood):

no

OpenStudy (okdutchman7):

100d cents

OpenStudy (mrnood):

yes - good now you need to by stamps. For every stamp you spend 3c you started with 100d cents so how many stamps can you buy?
