Blake's brother, Carson, is sending pictures from his fall baseball games with letters to friends. The weight of each envelope will require 55 cents postage. Carson has a selection of the following different stamps from which to choose:
52-cent Hubert H. Humphrey stamp
32-cent flag stamp
23-cent Mary Cassatt stamp
20-cent bird stamp
15-cent Buffalo Bill Cody stamp
3-cent bird stamp
Carson wants each envelope to have exactly 55 cents in postage, and to have a different combination of stamps.
What are the different stamp combinations Carson can use on the envelopes, if he has room for no more than 5 stamps on an envelope?
