Joanna bought only $0.15 stamps and $0.29 stamps. How many $0.15 stamps did she buy?
(1) She bought $4.40 worth of stamps.
(2) She bought an equal number of $0.15 stamps and $0.29 stamps.

Why OA: A
My reason is : by statement 1 we have only one value i.e. 10 stamps of .15 as well as of .29. please lemme know whether there is any other possibility.

Hi,

You are right that the only combination of $0.15 and $0.29 that adds to $4.40 is 10*$0.15 + 10*$0.29 = $4.40. This is the reason that Statement 1 is sufficient.

Note that the only way A*$0.15 + B*$0.29 = $4.40 will work is if B is a multiple of 5:
A*$0.15 is definitely a multiple of 5. So is $4.40. Since we add B*$0.29 to one multiple of 5 (A*$0.15) and end up with another ($4.40), B*$0.29 must itself be a multiple of 5. This means B is a multiple of 5.

So we just need to check the cases where B = 0, 5, 10, 15.

If B = 0, A*$0.15 + 0*$0.29 = $4.40, or A*$0.15 = $4.40. $4.40 is not a multiple of $0.15, so this does not work.

If B = 5, A*$0.15 + 5*$0.29 = $4.40, or A*$0.15 = $2.95. $2.95 is not a multiple of $0.15, so this does not work.

If B = 10, A*$0.15 + 10*$0.29 = $4.40, or A*$0.15 = $1.50. $1.50 IS a multiple of $0.15, so this DOES work.

If B = 15, A*$0.15 + 15*$0.29 = $4.40, or A*$0.15 = $0.05. $0.05 is not a multiple of $0.15, so this does not work.

(We can check for divisibility by 15 by checking for divisibility by both 3 and 5. A number is divisible by 3 if its digits sum to a multiple of 3. A number is divisible by 5 if it ends in 0 or 5.)

Why not D? Statement 2 is also suff to answer the question. Please advise.

Because statement 2 doesn't give you the total amount. You can have 1 of each stamp, or 2 of each, or 3... etc.
