Answer:

52 32- cent stamps and 26 13-cent stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the 32-cent stamps and y be the 13-cent stamps then...

x=2y

32x+13y=2002 (note that $20.02 is 2002 cents)

We can solve using substitution (substitute 2y for x)

32(2y)+13y=2002

64y+13y=2002

77y=2002

y=26

x=2(26)

x=52

She bought 52 32-cent stamps and 26 13-cent stamps.
