The first part is an actual math problem from the old days. I decided to write about it today after I just paid 68 cents for a first class stamp at a postal annex:
Billy had 75 cents. He went to the post office and bought 5 first class stamps for 5 cents each. And he bought 4 post card stamps for 3 cents each.
(New part.) Billy decided to buy cokes (10 cents each) and Hershey bars (5 cents each) for himself and his friends Sam and Jeff.
He had 3 cents left over.
The question is: what year did this happen?
Hint: Those were silver quarters he spent.

1963 is closer to the mark.
In 1970 Cokes were 15 cents or more in the vending machines everywhere.
JMHO
Also after the transaction, didn't little Billy owe someone 7 cents?
