Use the 4 Step Plan and turn in on Friday, October 2nd

The basic format for a correct answer in the P.O.W. 4 Step Plan is below:

SEE:
What is the question asking? Restate in your own words.
What do I know? List all important facts from the question (or circle/highlight on the printed question and underline the question)

PLAN:
Because you know how many total pieces of mail were sent (10) and you know how
much each cost to send, you can use what method to find out how many letters were mailed and how many cards were mailed: Work Backwards, Guess and Check, Draw a Picture, Make a List...

DO: Show your work and Box your answer

CHECK:
If the sum of the cost of ___ stamps for the letters is $_____, and the cost of the stamps for the cards $______. Together that equals $______, then that added with the change $_______ should equal $5.00.
