Problem
Juan organizes the stamps in his collection by country and by the decade in which they were issued. The prices he paid for them at a stamp shop were: Brazil and France, cents each, Peru cents each, and Spain cents each. (Brazil and Peru are South American countries and France and Spain are in Europe.)
Solution
The stamps cost:
Brazil, 12(\ 0.06) = \
Peru, 6(\ 0.04) = \
France, 12(\ 0.06) = \
Spain, 13(\ 0.05) = \
The total is \2.3343\frac{\2.33}{43} \approx \0.054 = \boxed{5.4 \text{ cents}}.$
Brazil, 12(\ 0.06) = \
Peru, 6(\ 0.04) = \
France, 12(\ 0.06) = \
Spain, 13(\ 0.05) = \
The total is \2.3343\frac{\2.33}{43} \approx \0.054 = \boxed{5.4 \text{ cents}}.$
Final answer
5.4 \text{ cents}
