- How many stamps did Daniel receive in all?
- What percentage of the stamps that Daniel received were foreign stamps?
(a)
Number of foreign stamps given
= 45% x 140
=
45100 x 140
= 63
Number of local stamps given to Daniel
= 20% x 60
=
20100 x 60
= 12
Number of stamps received by Daniel
= 63 + 12
= 75
(b)
Percentage of stamps received that were foreign stamps
=
6375 x 100%
= 84%
Answer(s): (a) 75; (b) 84%
