Key computation: Take the difference in the cost of the two stamps.
What remains the same: Total number of stamps.
What to change: the number of 55 cent stamps and 80 cent stamps.
First try: 9 x 80 cents - 9 x 55 cents = $2.25 (not close enough to $7.65)
Second try: 12 x 80 cents - 6 x 55 cents = $6.30
Third try: 13 x 80 cents - 5 x 55 cents = $6.75
Bingo!
Sharon bought 13 80 cents stamps. :)

She gave 12/15 of the remainder, and the remainder was 5/6 of the caketo her classmates. 12/15=4/5, 4/5 ×5/6 =4/6 =2/3

Rectangle A is (B) 1 by (L) 1x3=3 which is LXB=3 unit2
Rectangle B is (B)3 by (L) 3x3=9 which is LXB=27 unit2
Total area 480m2/(27+3)units=16m2
Rectangle A area 16x3=48m2
Rectangle B area 480-48=432m2
