- How many stamps did Gabriel receive in all?
- What percentage of the stamps that Gabriel received were local stamps?
(a)
Number of local stamps given
= 40% x 160
=
40100 x 160
= 64
Number of foreign stamps given to Gabriel
= 20% x 80
=
20100 x 80
= 16
Number of stamps received by Gabriel
= 64 + 16
= 80
(b)
Percentage of stamps received that were local stamps

6480 x 100%
