First, we need to find out how much Bill spent on stamps. Since each stamp costs 6.80.

Next, we need to find out how many stamps Melinda could buy with her $8.16. To do this, we divide 8.16 by the cost of one stamp, 0.68. This gives us approximately 12 stamps.

However, the problem states that Melinda had to get more stamps than Bill. Since Bill got 10 stamps, and 12 is more than 10, Melinda was able to get 12 stamps.
