Hilda collected 120 foreign stamps and 120 local stamps. She gave 40% of the foreign stamps and 10% of the local stamps to Ken.
- How many stamps did Ken receive in all?
- What percentage of the stamps that Ken received were foreign stamps?
(a)
Number of foreign stamps given
= 40% x 120
=
40100 x 120
= 48
Number of local stamps given to Ken
= 10% x 120
=
10100 x 120
= 12
Number of stamps received by Ken
= 48 + 12
= 60
(b)
Percentage of stamps received that were foreign stamps
=
4860 x 100%
= 80%
Answer(s): (a) 60; (b) 80%
