Answer: 3 cat stickers and 1 bird sticker

Step-by-step explanation:

To guess, 7 cents total and values of 2 and 1.

I calculated how many times 2 went into 7 and then used the remainder of 1 for the other sticker.

3(2) + 1(1) = 7  [tex]\checkmark[/tex]

To solve mathematically, set up a system of equations:

Value:  2x + 1y = 7

Quantity: x + y = 4
