- How many stamps did Cody receive in all?
- What percentage of the stamps that Cody received were foreign stamps?
(a)
Number of foreign stamps given
= 40% x 90
=
40100 x 90
= 36
Number of local stamps given to Cody
= 15% x 80
=
15100 x 80
= 12
Number of stamps received by Cody
= 36 + 12
= 48
(b)
Percentage of stamps received that were foreign stamps
