- What percentage of the stamps that Caden received were foreign stamps?
(a)
Number of foreign stamps given
= 55% x 160
=
55100 x 160
= 88
Number of local stamps given to Caden
= 10% x 120
=
10100 x 120
= 12
Number of stamps received by Caden
= 88 + 12
= 100
(b)
Percentage of stamps received that were foreign stamps
