Cindy collected 240 foreign stamps and 80 local stamps. She gave 45% of the foreign stamps and 15% of the local stamps to Mark.
- How many stamps did Mark receive in all?
- What percentage of the stamps that Mark received were foreign stamps?
(a)
Number of foreign stamps given
= 45% x 240
=
45100 x 240
= 108
Number of local stamps given to Mark
= 15% x 80
=
15100 x 80
= 12
Number of stamps received by Mark
= 108 + 12
= 120
(b)
Percentage of stamps received that were foreign stamps
=
108120 x 100%
= 90%
Answer(s): (a) 120; (b) 90%
