He could buy 12 postcards for $3.36.
and 8 letters for $3.36
0.28 - Stamp
0.44 - Letter
0.72 - Both Letter and stampΒ 
If we subtract 0.72 until we get 0 or no longer can subtract it from the 3.60Β 

Β 3.60
-0.72
---------
Β 2.88
-0.72
---------
Β 2.16
-0.72
--------
Β 1.44

Β 0.72

So he can send only 5 postcards and letters
