Example: Every postage amount < $.12 can be formed using $.04 and $.05<br />
stamp combinations only. We can prove this using modified strong induction.<br />
(Basis) Consider 4 specific cases:<br />
Postage Number <strong>of</strong> $.04’s Number <strong>of</strong> $.05’s<br />
$.12 3 0<br />
$.13 2 1<br />
$.14 1 2<br />
$.15 0 3<br />
Hence, P(j) is true for 12;j;15.<br />
(Induction) Assume P(j) is true for 12;j;k and k2.<br />
