    Answer:26 first class stamps and 28 additional.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    From information given, we can formulate the following equation: 47n + 25 (54-n) = 1922

    Now we solve for n.

    47 + 1350 + 25n = 1922

    47n - 25n = 1922 - 1350

    22n=572

    n = 26.

    Therefore 26 first class stamps and 28 additional. 54 total
