Hazel collected 80 local stamps and 80 foreign stamps. She gave 45% of the local stamps and 5% of the foreign stamps to Ethan.
- How many stamps did Ethan receive in all?
- What percentage of the stamps that Ethan received were local stamps?
(a)
Number of local stamps given
= 45% x 80
=
45100 x 80
= 36
Number of foreign stamps given to Ethan
= 5% x 80
=
5100 x 80
= 4
Number of stamps received by Ethan
= 36 + 4
= 40
(b)
Percentage of stamps received that were local stamps
=
3640 x 100%
= 90%
Answer(s): (a) 40; (b) 90%
