Sabrina collected 80 foreign stamps and 90 local stamps. She gave 45% of the foreign stamps and 10% of the local stamps to Liam.
- How many stamps did Liam receive in all?
- What percentage of the stamps that Liam received were foreign stamps?
(a)
Number of foreign stamps given
= 45% x 80
=
45100 x 80
= 36
Number of local stamps given to Liam
= 10% x 90
=
10100 x 90
= 9
Number of stamps received by Liam
= 36 + 9
= 45
(b)
Percentage of stamps received that were foreign stamps
=
3645 x 100%
= 80%
Answer(s): (a) 45; (b) 80%
