- How many stamps did Dylan receive in all?
- What percentage of the stamps that Dylan received were local stamps?
(a)
Number of local stamps given
= 60% x 220
=
60100 x 220
= 132
Number of foreign stamps given to Dylan
= 15% x 120
=
15100 x 120
= 18
Number of stamps received by Dylan
= 132 + 18
= 150
(b)
Percentage of stamps received that were local stamps
=
132150 x 100%
= 88%
Answer(s): (a) 150; (b) 88%
